The Sawyer water filter technology came from the kidney dialysis filtration process. Sawyer takes great pride in high quality materials, consistent construction and quality control on every filter manufactured. The only maintenance for the filters is a regular backwash to maintain water flow.

Since 2011, Dr Miller has been building Otolaryngology services at Tenwek Hospital in Bomet, Kenya. She travels at least 2 times a year for 4 weeks to provide much needed medical care. In October 2025 the Millers plan to be in Kenya full time to better serve the people in this area. Dr Miller has been building surgical equipment supplies but this is a huge need especially with the upcoming long term commitment. She also provides hearing aids to the hearing impaired of all ages. Grants have provided some of the hearing aid supplies but donations for batteries and more aids are needed.
Orphanage Projects
We have partnered with a local orphanage in Bomet, Kenya to help them become self sustaining. Ongoing projects have included building a christian school for the students and neighboring children, dining hall building, and latrines.

We have built a relationship with Kitoben Children’s Home in Bomet, Kenya. This orphanage was started by Samwel and Alice Langat who have 5 of their own children. They began to take in needy children from the surrounding area into their own home in 1989. She recalls that locals would drop off newborns and young children to her doorstep when they couldn’t afford to care for them. She knew then that God was calling her to care for children other than her own. They now run a home for more that 60 children and a school, grade baby to ,8 for more than 100 students. Many of the children have now graduated from secondary school. We visit them regularly and help finance projects needed to maintain healthy living conditions and projects to improve the school and receive governmental aid for the school.
