Mission Sponsors are an outreach program which has been assisting the needy in mission parishes in Kenya since 1986.
Parishes assisted are run by Divine Word Missionaries (An international order of priests and brothers) and the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary Sisters (also an international order). They stress the importance of education and helping adults to obtain the dignity of being self -supporting.
The sponsorship program has averaged about 100 children being educated each year. Hundreds of children have been helped form kindergarten through college or vocational training.
Kenyans are generous and take orphans into their homes, but the devastating effects of aids have left so many orphans that outside help is needed.
Funds have been raised to help start self-help programs such as sewing and basket and jewelry making. Other projects were restocking of herds, planting of trees, help of street children, building of homes for handicapped, and many other projects suggested by the missionaries. We are currently helping children in 4 different parishes.
The program is run by volunteers who pay all expenses. Every other cent goes to the intention of the donor. We thank you for your interest in helping the children.
