Karambu was able to update us on how the money raised by the Club is being spent to eduate and empower women and girls whose lives have been affected by HIV and AIDS. Karambu showed us pictures of the Amani children&#8217;s home \u00a0that she has built with help from outside organisations in the UK and USA. Amani means peace in Swahili, and the home is a peaceful place where there are currently 27 children living to carry on their studies. The transformation of the barren wasteland to the lush gardens and organic market garden is amazing. Karambu hopes to create a self-sufficent childrens&#8217; home where produce is grown on site along with some farm animals. The St Albans Club is fundraising to put 4 girls through secondary education. In addtion the Club is selling jewellery made by HIV+ve women in Kenya\u00a0which provides them with a sustainable income.<\/p>\n<p>For more about IPI please visit the IPI website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipeacei.org\/\">www.ipeacei.org<\/a>\u00a0&amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inpeace.kbo.co.ke\/\">www.inpeace.kbo.co.ke<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To download the\u00a0newsletter from IPI click here: <a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/files\/IPI-Newsletter1.pdf\">IPI Newsletter1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more news items about the Club&#8217;s support for IPI follow the links below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/2012\/jewellery-to-support-women-and-girls-in-kenya\/\">www.sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/2012\/jewellery-to-support-women-and-girls-in-kenya\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/2011\/peace-dr-karambu-ringera-speaks-to-club-members\/\">www.sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/2011\/peace-dr-karambu-ringera-speaks-to-club-members\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;International Peace Initiative&#8221; (IPI)\u00a0is our international project, in Meru, Kenya.
