A while back my Uncle Glenn Smith felt lead of the Lord to stat a new business that would not only help him and his family but, it would halp many who is poor. In stead of me telling his story i am going to let you read it for yourself.
"Kenya Marketing Company began with a vision. I started thinking about this business in September of 2007. Jesus woke me up on September 26 at 3:25 am. He told me what to call the company and what to do with 10% of the profits. Because of this experience, the company is named Kenya Marketing and that is where 10% of our profit will go. Here at Kenya Marketing, we are striving for a better tomorrow. This company is about making a difference for the people in another country. Kenya Marketing Company is about giving and about helping others. Before my vision, I never paid much attention to the news on T.V. or the radio. At the time, I wasn't exactly sure where Kenya was and I had no idea of the devastation the county would face in the near future. Due to the media, I am sure most of you know about the growing violence and deaths in Kenya. However, most of the people have lived under very poor conditions for a long time. Presently, 22.8 percent of the population lives on less than $1 a day and 58.3% live on less than $2 a day. In spite of its glossy image for tourists, the majority of Kenya's land is barren. The country lacks robust food production and is vulnerable to unstable rain patterns. Like many of its neighbors, Kenya has suffered a massive human and economic loss from HIV/AIDS, reducing life expectancy to 48 years. Current estimates peg Kenya's antiretroviral therapy need at 233,000 people, yet by the end of 2005 only 66,000 had received treatment. Associated with HIV/AIDS, the rate of tuberculosis (TB) has increased in recent years to 108,000 new cases in 2005. For an already beleaguered health system the combined impact of HIV/AIDS has been catastrophic. Over 50% of the country's hospital beds are occupies by the patients with HIV/AIDS related infections. Malaria is the main cause of deaths of children under 5 years; only 25% of children are protected by bed nets. Violence against women has finally centered public debate in Kenya with politicians beginning to recognize the seriousness of a culture in which about 50 women are believed to be raped every day, of which few cases are reported and even fewer prosecuted. There are laws against gender violence, including the custom of female genital mutilation, but their impact remains very low, especially in poorer regions.
