One Link Resource Centre  - Rusinga Island, Kenya.

About Us

My name is David Orato and I am working on the One Link Project with community leaders as well as the Project Facilitator, David Cregan. We have formalized the specifications for the building of a new and greatly needed resource centre that will provide a focal point for the entire community but also essential educational & health training

Although a modest building in size, once up and running the centre will be maintained and run exclusively by the community, connecting this densely populated rural island to the outside world.

Facilities will include:

Library
Internet Access
Solar Paneled Electricity
Training Hub
Restaurant
Social Hall & Eating Area

Sustainable Development Projects - Post Build

-Disease Control & Prevention Workshops
-Improved Farming Techniques

-Restaurant
-Local Arts & Crafts Making
-Literacy & Speech Classes
-Computer proficiency Training

Initially, we are looking for seed capital of approximately €500 to draw up formal plans for the main building with contractors who have given the green light for the project while also to register with the local authorities as both a charity and for planning permission.

Its important to note that typically in this part of rural Kenya, local people are almost exclusively subsistence farmers who live day to day on between €0.80c - €1.80. There has been a drought for the past 3 years which is ongoing; Even the smallest donation will make a big difference and there is no greater cause than to give this community hope for a better future.

Thank you from all of us on Rusinga Island, Lake Victoria, Kenya.
