I (Cliff Landesman) haven't blogged for some time, but will start posting more frequently soon. I have been in conversations with a small nonprofit, Global Youth for Education and Change regarding a project near Kisumu, Kenya. The project would screen eaves in the villages of Rota and Kisian, extending work that was done by Ned Walker and Ben Abong'o as a research project. Ben would be our local project manager. Ned and Ben's research (not yet published) shows a benefit from eaves screening, even though the houses are still leaky.

It was interesting to me to hear that the quality of the tools available for purchase in Kisumu and even in Nairobi is inadequate for the project and we are looking to see if we can import from the US or South Africa staple guns and drill bits for turning screws.

If all goes well, the project will get started in the first few months of 2016.

Here is a video that was produced by GYEC about the project that concluded in 2015:
