How We Help: Education
Education is the biggest factor in changing the economic realities for a developing country. Without educated people, no country or community can achieve or sustain economic development. Education develops people’s understanding of themselves and the world around them. It improves the quality of their lives and provides wide-ranging social benefits to individuals, families, and society.
Where We Serve
The Missionaries of Africa were founded 150 years ago for the Evangelization of Africa. They continue today to remain faithful to their call to share the life and mission of Jesus, and to give witness to the Gospel in Africa and among Africans wherever they may be.
The slums of Nairobi, like Kayaba, are home to millions facing overwhelming challenges—overcrowding, lack of basic services, and limited opportunities for a better life. Through your generosity, we can bring lasting change to these communities.
We’re supporting two vital projects making a difference: the Mukuru Starlight Learners Center, which provides education to children and teens in the Kayaba slum, and the Youth Apostolate, which offers counseling and guidance to young men vulnerable to the pressures of city life. Education is a transformative tool, empowering these young people to rise above their circumstances and create better futures for themselves.
Your support today will provide education and opportunity, helping to change lives and bring lasting impact to those who need it most in Nairobi and beyond.
