Jeremy Damaris’s friends, Mary Haley Costatino and his wife Emily, traveled all the way from Michigan, USA, for a heartfelt visit to the Kianjogu IDP camp. During their visit, they were deeply moved as they witnessed firsthand the challenging realities faced by internally displaced persons. The stark living conditions at the camp struck a profound chord with them; they found it difficult to imagine life without the basic amenities many take for granted daily.

Their visit also included a trip to Jehova Jireh Estate, whereJeremy and his friends acquired 16 acres of land for the IDPs, a hopeful foundation for rebuilding their lives. This land stands as a testament to collective efforts to provide a secure and dignified future for those displaced. The friends from Michigan left with a renewed sense of compassion and commitment to support the resilience and recovery of the affected families.
