Bishop Mugambi, the bishop of Meru, came to dedicate the house of the four Adrian Dominican sisters who were working with the St. Clare Centre.
During the dedication mass he spoke directly to the children:
“These sisters are gifts to you. You are the reason they are here. You prayed to God to help you. Now look at the wonderful gift God has given you in these four American sisters. They have come to serve you. So work hard, respect them, respect yourself and respect each other. Do not misuse this gift from a loving God who heard your prayers.”

In Meru, Kenya, thousands of orphans and abandoned children live in unspeakable conditions on the streets, the victims of gross poverty and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. THE FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is a nonprofit organization formed to assist The Children’s Village in improving the lives of these children.
The Children’s Village is the inspiration of Fr. Francis Limo Riwa who in 1999 began to rescue orphaned and abandoned street children. Today the Children’s Village is home, family and school to more than 750 children, living on two campuses: the St. Clare Girls’ Centre and St. Francis Boys’ Home.
FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is committed to rescuing, housing, feeding and educating these abandoned orphans. Learn how you can support this effort.
