Learn about Appalachia
We serve in the Appalachian region of the USA, and in particular Eastern Kentucky. Life there has been shaped in part by the isolation of the mountains, resulting in a rich culture of individualism, religious faith, as well as love of the land, family and music. This isolation, however, has made development of a stable economy - including employment, education, health care, and housing very difficult.
