Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre

Our community extends further than Charlotte, NC, all the way to the Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre (GGCC) on Mfangano Island in Lake Victoria in Kenya. Recently we donated for the 2013 Walk-A-Thon for Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre on April 20, 2013.

At GGCC,  over five hundred students are currently enrolled at the Christian-based school, where they consistently exceed the national average for end-of-year test scores. The students are among the poorest from Mfangano and the surrounding islands. Up to 65% of the people depend on government assistance for daily sustenance, and 60% of pregnant women are infected with HIV. The number of orphans increases each year as parents die from this disease.

Hendrick Honda shares the Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre's vision to give hope to, and empower, children who are victims of poverty and HIV/AIDS by providing them with a quality, Christian-based education.
