Who Are We?

Joanruth Baumann and Dick Coffey, married retired engineers from Friday Harbor, Washington, founded Friends of Kunya to raise funds for lifesaving projects in Kunya Village.

"It's only by the luck of the draw that we were born in the U.S. and that our friends in Kunya were born to the deprivations they face.

We feel extraordinarily lucky in our lives and want to make a difference to those who are not. There are a lot of needs in the world, and we can't solve them all---but we can solve this one and make a life-saving difference for thousands of people.

We lived and worked in Kenya for three months in 2007, and from that experience came the Friends of Kunya."
