Day 3-Kisumu - Siaya - Dominion Farm Tour

"Calvin Burgess, the owner of Dominion farm said this when he first toured Yala swamp in Siaya "It takes courage to leave the comforts of our developed economies and our homes to be pioneers in rural Africa, but that is the best means of doing well by doing good,"

Burgess isn't critical of the missionaries and medical teams that have traveled to Africa for the past several decades but he thinks business may be the better answer to the continents continued woes.

"This is putting your money where your mouth is," Burgess said. "Most of the rest of what you hear is just talk. This is what Kenya needs.... they need the same thing we need here, that is economic development, they need jobs, and they need net wealth. Charity is a curse to them in my opinion. It doesn't work; it makes them dependent to where they can't support themselves. And it needs to end." Burgess said.
