A small centre the country has noticed.
First Lady Margaret Kenyatta
Visited the centre and called for more places like it across Kenya.
H.E. Hon. William Samoei Ruto, PhD, CGH
At the time of the visit, Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya; today its President.
Visit by the bishop
Our work is embraced by the local Catholic Church, at the heart of the diocese.
In much of Kenya, disability is still met with fear.
Too often a child with a disability is hidden away, and specialised schools are scarce. For families across this region, there is almost nowhere to turn, so we became that place.
Understand the need →One child, supported in every way that matters.
Education
An individualised plan for each child, literacy, numeracy, self-care and confidence.
Rehabilitation & therapy
Physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy, and a calming multisensory room.
Life skills
Practical, vocational training, like hairdressing and tailoring, toward independence.
Daily meals
Meals prepared on site each day, so no child has to learn on an empty stomach.
Door-to-door transport
Our buses travel long rural routes to bring children to the centre and home again.
Family & community
We walk with parents and teach the community, so children are accepted, not excluded.
We belong to the worldwide Don Orione family.
Founded by Saint Luigi Orione, the Sons of Divine Providence serve the poorest and people with disabilities on five continents. When you trust us, you trust a Church that has done this for over a century.

We keep going thanks to people of good will.
Most of our families cannot pay. The centre runs on generosity, and there are simple, concrete ways you can help a child learn, move and eat.
