Kenya - Chanzo
The Daughters of Charity work beside several big slum areas. The DREAM programme provides treatment and care for people living with HIV/AIDS. The Justin de Jacobis Centre offers training, social services and support for those most in need.
A remote mountainous semi arid region where sustainable income is totally dependent on unpredictable rain fall. Much work goes on here in schools, women’s development, care of the elderly and helping farmers to plough their land.
In this slum area outside a big town the sisters assist people for whom housing schooling, health and youth activities are a big challenge.
The Daughters of Charity are the main service providers in this under-developed village organizing nursery school, classes for children with disabilities, women’s development programmes, health clinic, services for the elderly and hospice care.
Kiio is in a very arid area and has suffered greatly this year from the drought in East Africa. Harvesting water is a big challenge, as are health care and schooling. The sisters teach income-generating skills like goat rearing and sewing and carry out primary health care services focusing on people with HIV/AIDS.
The Daughters of Charity are engaged in a variety of work in four different areas in Nigeria. Please read on to find out more, and how you can help in each area:
