When Milford attorney Jane Holler went on a safari to Kenya in 1999 she had no idea the trip would be the impetus for a long relationship in helping villagers in the East African countries of Tanzania and Uganda gain access to more water, food and clothing.

The trip with her husband Dan Marecki, her law partner in the personal injury, real estate and probate firm of Holler & Marecki, was for tourists. But the couple knew there was more to Africa than what guides showed them.
