Segera Mission

At the amazing age of 88, Rev. Gleason, called "Pappy" by all that knew him, started a medical clinic, a school, a feeding program for widows and orphans, and a mission outreach program in a remote area 40 miles from Mount Kenya in Northern Central Kenya. He died there at age 94 leaving behind a legacy of caring and love to the poorest of the poor.... We hope you will help us carry on that legacy: Segera Clinic provides the only medical care for over 400 square miles, serving more than 17,000 people. Segera School is educating more than 300 children in grades Nursery, Pre-Unit, and 1 - 7. In addition to education and books, these children also receive a school uniform and one meal a day - for many, the ONLY meal of the day. Segera Feeding Program Although most of the local people are desperately poor, the poorest of the poor are the orphans, often AIDS orphans, who are usually living with their aging grandmother. We feed about 400 people who truly have no other hope. During times of famine, this number can triple. Join your hands and your heart with ours. Please make a gift from YOUR HEART to the HEART OF AFRICA! How are donations used? 100% of every dollar donated goes DIRECTLY to people in need! This is made possible because the Board of Directors and the American staff donate all their time, and fund all of the overhead. In this way, every dollar you give is stretched till it squeaks! Who is responsible for the Segera Mission Foundation? The founder's daughter, Janice Gleason Skow, has taken over the operation of the Segera Mission. The Board of Directors consists of both Americans and local leaders. What is the Mission Statement of Segera Mission Foundation? To give the people of this remote area the message of God's love, and a chance for a better life through salvation, education, medical care, and the chance for a transformed future.
