Eastern Region // Kenya // Community Outreach: Linguistics and Literacy
We have been working amongst the Rendille since September 1981. The Rendille language was not written, so we had to learn it directly from the people and then put it into writing. Our work here involves Bible translation, literacy, and community development. We have started a Christian Primary School and plan to develop a medical facility for the Rendille.
