The Bosongo Community and Veterinary Agri-Project, AKA Boscovet Project, was established in 2008 by 5 local Kenyans from the Kisii area to help bring small farmers in western Kenya together in order to share ideas, support one another, and learn new ideas,  Their goal was to lift themselves out of the cycle of poverty that they had been stuck in for many generations.  This is a Christian organization that has grown from the original 25 members to now over 300 and has spread from the original chapter in the village of Menyinkwa to 7 chapters in four villages.  The Boscovet Project was recognized in 2016 by the Kenyan government as a valuable contributor to the health and financial improvement of its members.
The original goal was to focus on improving the health and nutrition of the cows, goats and chickens that the farmers owned.  Maintaining the health of their animals is still a prime objective of the Boscovet Project.  However, during the first mission trip there in January 2009 it was immediately obvious that access to clean water was major impediment to the escape from poverty.  So in 2009 Our Saviour's Lutheran Church hosted the first Streams of Mercy benefit dinner.  Over $10,000 was raised and 4 new wells and 10 latrines were placed in the area surrounding Menyinkwa.  To date, through January 2017, 29 wells have been placed in the small villages outside of Kisii, Kenya - Masongo, Gesure, Otombe, and Menyinkwa.  These wells serve not only the Boscovet families but all the families within walking distance - over 3000 people now have access to safe drinking water.

The motto for The Boscovet Project is:
Empowering those who live in poverty to live with HOPE.

In addition to animal health and clean water, several other constraints to the success of these people were recognized as future mission teams continued the original work that began in 2009.  So over the years the Project has expanded.  A non profit 501(c)3 corporation was established in 2012 to aid in the fundraising effort.  This enabled the Boscovet Project to expand into several other sorely needed and valuable initiatives.  To date this includes:
 - Agricultural training scholarships
 - Improved and new vegetable seeds
 - Establishment of a micro-finance and savings program
 - Purchase of land and construction of a school for elementary children  Boscovet Hope Academy - currently there are 400 students and 10          teachers, a headmaster, and 6 support staff.
 - Founding of a church. 
 - Days for Girls - education and feminine hygiene kits for young teenage girls.
 - Investment in 3000 avocado trees and soybean plants.

Mission teams go to Kenya every January and sometimes in the summer.
