- Embu branch is the newly formed group in Kenya
- It a region affected drug addicts. Commonly abused drugs are Mira (Khat), Bhang, Alcohol and tobacco
- Currently it has thirty seven members majority being drug addicts
- God has helped us to come up with a plan on how we can help our affected brothers. Also with help from Doctor Klaus we have managed to start buying a land where we want to put houses and come up with a rehabilitation center for the addicts to be meeting and even stay for some months to recover
- Because of that, the members have contributed and we have come up with minor projects which are operate by addicts these are like:
1. Fish pond i.e. fish farming by volunteers giving out there farms that we can dig ponds
2. Dairy farming
3. Barber Shop
4. Crop farming
5. Sports and drama activities
- We also looking forward to start a cyber cafe´ which is a necessity at this time. It will serve as income generating project and also a training school for volunteers and recovered addicts. We also looking forward to start a film project, so please its very important to evangelize and teach this people about drugs.
