He has worked tirelessly with Kenya Relief to build water treatment facilities and boreholes in Migori, Kenya, and has led several medical teams to provide critical care to those in need.

Listen to this informative Your Life. Your Legacy. episode with Dr. Jon Robert about his involvement with Kenya Relief, talking about how the project provides numerous ways for individuals, including his family, to get involved and make a positive impact.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

Kenya Relief is a non-profit organization that was established by a nurse anesthetist to honor his daughter's memory, which has constructed critical infrastructure such as an orphanage, school clinic, hospital, and water systems in Kenya, with Dr. Jon being a frequent visitor and contributor to the project.

Dr. Jon's encounter with Mary, a young Kenyan girl, sparked a life-changing commitment to supporting Kenya Relief that has now become a part of his family's legacy.

Dr. Jon and a team of volunteers witnessed the disastrous impact of drought on a refugee camp in Kenya, inspiring them to take action by leveraging their network of connections to fund and build two water wells, ultimately bringing relief to the locals and renewing the community.

A first-hand experience of poverty in the developing world deeply impacted Dr. Jon and his family, fostering greater compassion and understanding towards those in need.
