Your continuing donations were hard at work through all of 2017 even as we relocated our office to Fairfield, Iowa and worked on strategies to position Africa PTSD Relief for yet greater impact going forward.    

Your financial support has established the solid foundation for several projects in Kenya.  Leveraging this strength and the history of your on-going commitment, APR has been able to team with another organization, Partners for World Peace, and their new East Africa Fund which was established to support a range of projects involving the TM Program. (learn more about the East Africa Fund here)

As this complementary stream of support joins together with your donations, APR's existing projects with the Maasai community of Transmara, Global One School in Kibera, and the SCANN orphanage for street children in Nakuru will be able to expand even more quickly and include many hundreds more new TM practitioners during 2018. 

  • Maasai Community in Transmara 
A diverse group including Maasai widows, miners and children of Chamrecc School all enjoyed several days of meditation checking and follow-up meetings given by TM teachers Solomon Mwangi and Patrick Kinuthia who trekked up from Nairobi.  In the coming year, 200 more members of the Maasai community will be receiving their TM training.  

  • Global One School in Kibera
You may remember when African PTSD Relief started the project at Global One Foundation School.  This was our first experience in Kibera, a single square mile in Nairobi where hundreds of thousands of people live with very limited access to clean water, healthy food and educational opportunity. 

All the teachers and primary students at Global One School now practice TM twice a day and we are working to schedule all the secondary students to learn as well in the coming year. 



Here are the Global One teachers during a group meditation.  These twice daily periods of calm and revitalization that your donations make possible have really transformed and renewed their already deep commitment to teaching the children.

  • Orphaned Street Children of Nakuru
In the city of Nakuru west of Nairobi, your donations continue supporting the Street Children’s Assistance for Nakuru Networks (SCANN) project. This foundation houses homeless children and provides them with education, food, clothing and nurturing. 

Now in addition to the wonderful benefits provided by SCANN, the children also enjoy daily stress relief through their TM practice. 
​


Some of the boys say hello after a recent group meeting with their TM teacher and graduate of Maharishi University of Management, Simon Mwangi.  It is a happy group to be sure!

​Other schools within the SCANN network have been requesting our programs.  We plan to offer TM instruction to 100 more of these students as phase one of expansion later this year.
