Dongruok Dala Formation?

In October 2015, Mr. Juma had the honor and pleasure of visiting South Korea with the former Prime Minister of Kenya the Right Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga. They were happy to learn about how Korea was and how it grew to what it is today. In fact 40 years ago, Korea was like Kenya in most aspects of operations. But today, they are miles apart. He promised the former Prime Minister that he would start a similar movement in Kenya starting with his homeland of Ugenya since Charity begins at Home. Mr. Juma lived up to his promise and started Dongruok Dala, a CBO which has spread to al,ost all the counties in Nyanza region<br>
Everyday, we strive to inspire youth to embrace life and to know that they have the power to achieve anything they put their minds to. We are also constantly working to not only empower women, the whole community through women
