Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Kenya s Nyeri Anthony Muheria, Chancellor of the Tangaza University of Eastern Africa Gary Mueller and Chief Executive Officer of the development group Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) Tom Lalampaa penned a letter to thank Prime Minister Viktor Orban for Hungary s financial support. PM Orban s press chief has informed Hungary s state news agency (MTI) about the projects to be implemented from the Hungarian funding.

The letter penned by the university chief reveals that they will use the grant of nearly 40 million forints (more than 110 thousand euros) provided by the Hungary Helps Program to establish a new agricultural faculty in Kisaju, near the capital Nairobi.

NRT s CEO wrote that the 45 million forints (more than 125 thousand euros) granted to them would be spent on the development of a health centre in the underdeveloped Biliqo and Bulesa regions of northern Kenya. This donation will have a direct impact on the quality of life of many people, mainly women and children, who are the most vulnerable members of Kenyan society, the CEO added.

Hungary s humanitarian aid framework programme, launched in early 2017, has enabled more than 70 thousand people living in various crisis areas – including persecuted Christians – to stay in their home country, thus reducing the migratory pressure on Europe and Hungary. The basic principle of the Hungary Helps Program is to deliver assistance to where the problems are, instead of bringing the problems here, press chief Bertalan Havasi told Hungary s state news agency (MTI).
