We received notice that the NGO Undugu Vriendenkring Nederland, that has supported the Undugu Society of Kenya for decades, was disincorporated earlier this month:
“Although our target organization Undugu Society of Kenya still exists and continues its activities for the underprivileged in the slums of Kenya under the leadership of a new director Eric Mukoya, we saw no opportunity to provide meaningful support to it as an association any longer. However, informal contacts will remain. I regret that the project in Mathare Valley Nairobi that we talked about never went ahead. Looking back, the cause was the difficult turbulent period of our cooperation partner Undugu Society of Kenya. The Slumfighters plan seemed to give us an opening for a new effective approach to renovation plans. It wasn’t supposed to be that way.”
