Project Leader:
Sr Leah Njoroge
The Little Sisters of St. Francis in Kenya are involved in health ministry – facilities like St. Damiano Mission Hospital, a level 4 hospital with a staff of 140 – as well as with education ministries (Mother Kevin Primary School , St. Francis School for Hearing Impaired, and some ECD’s Centres) and social/pastoral ministries among vulnerable groups (orphaned children, mentally and physically challenged) and with the Bumula farm project west of the Rift Valley Region, Kenya. The Sisters work with the supportive staff and community members to grow maize, beans, bananas and vegetables, as well as rearing chicken, cows and fish as well. Farm products feed the vulnerable groups in our social ministries. The farm provides job opportunities to women and youths, training them on self-reliance and nutrition in families, helps with food security, and reduces malnutrition. During COVID-19, the Sisters need emergency support to sensitize the families and community on COVID-19 precautions, preventive measures to avoid the spread of the disease. The Sisters will also provide the materials – masks, gloves, gowns, sanitizers, soap – and advise on hygiene for individuals, families and communities. The support will assist us to expand the vegetables gardens as well as the fish ponds for more production. Funds will also be used to stock the hospital with hygiene and protective equipment..
