Kaburugi & Kandisi
Differently gifted
Two Orione Centres where children and young people with disabilities are rehabilitated, taught, and trained for work of their own.
Visit the Centres
Isineti · Maasai land, Kajiado
Women standing on their own
Around thirty Maasai women are the heart of the Isineti Project: water within reach, training in farming, and an education that touches every part of a woman’s life — so that independence is something they hold, not something they are handed.

Nyadorera · Siaya
800 people served in a single day
Food, a free medical camp, clothes, haircuts, washing, legal and psychological counsel, and help looking for work. For one day the gate of St. Elizabeth of Hungary stayed open to anyone who walked through it.

What the charity looks like
Charity here has an address, a roof and a payroll. These are the works the Delegation runs today, alongside the pastoral life of its parishes.
Ongoing
Women in Maasai land

Health and community
Three dispensaries: the Orione Mission Afya Care Centre at Gaitu, the health centre at Sholinke, and San Luigi Orione inside the Orione Centre at Kandisi — alongside Sholinke’s hall, poultry farm and ICT centre.

One work is an open building site today: the new school at Nyadorera, St. Rose of Lima — a KSh 110 million project, raised and built stage by stage. It is not finished, and it is looking for friends willing to build with a project rather than after it.

Orione Centres serving children with special needs
The Sons of Divine Providence came to Kenya in 1996, in the footsteps of the Little Missionary Sisters of Charity, who had arrived in 1979 and through whom the first Kenyan vocations were found. From a single house on Langata South Road grew parishes, schools, centres for children with disabilities, dispensaries and farms. On 12 March 2024, in Tortona, the Delegation “Our Lady of the Rosary” was formally erected — a Kenyan chapter of a family present in 34 countries, with its own government and its own sons serving across the Congregation.
Prayer of the day
“Only Charity will save the world.”
St. Luigi Orione
