I am raising funds for the St. John Orthodox Mission Centre in Kenya. The Mission provides basic education, clothing, accommodation, and a feeding programme to orphans and other vulnerable children. The mission centre is located in the town of Engineer in Nyandarua County.

Our goal at St.John Orthodox Mission Centre is

to bring more children to Jesus Christ, to provide clean water and food, to clothe them, and to accommodate as many orphaned children as God brings to us. In this way, with God’s help, the Mission can raise them to be strong in the Lord and firm in their lives.

The Mission serves 96 children who suffer from various types of poverty – physical, spiritual, economic, and social. Many of the children are orphaned, and many live with sick or elderly parents or caregivers or in homes that are physically and sexually abusive. It is the desire of Fr. Nicholas Papadopoulos and Presbytera Yeeko to show each child the love and nurturing of Christ and His holy Church, and to meet their physical and spiritual needs. Seventy-five of our children are supported entirely by the St. John Orthodox Mission Centre. The other 21 children depend on St. John Mission for food and education, but they live with guardians in the surrounding community. God bless you all.
