The Turkana people of northwest Kenya are among the poorest in Africa. Severe, long-term droughts, limited access to clean water, medical services and education leave thousands of children exposed — malnourished, at risk of disease, and often living on the streets.
For seventeen years, Pastor John and Pamela Eyanae have lived and worked at TNCH, serving the most vulnerable children and families in Kakuma and four surrounding villages. What started as a pastoral outreach has grown into a community development initiative serving more than 2,000 people.
In partnership with Interseed International, the Kakuma Project channels Australian and global support into sustainable, locally-led programs on the ground.
The Kakuma Project combines Interseed International's Australian-based fundraising and governance with TNCH's deep local presence in Kenya.

Our vision is not aid dependency. We build systems — schools, teachers, mentors — that create lasting change.
Individuals, churches, businesses, and community groups — every partnership counts.
