    Obwanchani Means Love

    Obwanchani Means Love


    Lydiah Kerubo Kenyanya

    In Gusii, the language spoken in Kisii, Kenya, the term “obwanchani” means to give great love.  Lydiah Kerubo Kenyanya demonstrates that love in her efforts to serve the members of her community.

    Lydiah started the Obwanchani Project to fund medical equipment, supplies for small business startups, farm animals and equipment for long term sustainable programs to meet the needs of vulnerable families in the Kisii area in Kenya.  There are many families living in substandard living conditions and part of the Obwanchani Project is to construct room additions and/or home reinforcements.  She is working through The Shamba Foundation.  Learn how you can participate in making a lasting change with a tax-deductible donation.
