Creative Arts: Masks instead of jewelry production
Mary usually guides the trainees with disabilities in making jewelry. Or she tailors overalls and other work clothes for the employees of the Sheltered Workshops.
Now she sews masks. They are distributed to all employees. The persons with disabilities also get masks. The rest is sold.
Children collect for Munyu
Maria and Larissa sell self-made things, children's books and crime novels.

Hope and Faith
Marion Karimi runs the orphanage Hope and Faith.
Even during the Corona crisis Marion receives calls from government agencies. She is then asked to take in a child and has custody.
She does not get any support from the state. Hope and Faith also has to pay the employees themselves.
We support the orphanage with the costs for personnel.
Academy Munyu
The children have to stay at home until the beginning of September.
The school plans to work with computers in future. All children should be able to learn the basics.
There are plans for a computer room in the school building. A ceiling made of concrete has been installed, so that the room is safe. But electricity is still missing.
So there are some obstacles that have to be overcome.
Artisan Stephen cannot come to work
The carpenter and workshop manager Stephen lives in Kilimambogo, only about 10 km from the Sheltered Workshops.
He lives outside the Greater Nairobi District.
Because of the curfew, he is not allowed to go to work.
What to do with waste?
Since 2018, many efforts have been made in the workshops for the disabled to properly dispose of the waste.
Now garbage is separated. There are bins for compost, recycling and incineration.
With the help of Hubert Senger, a furnace was built for the incineration of the residual waste.
