Dedicated to the liberation of people and communities from poverty and injustice

Kenya

The Edmund Rice Mission has been very active in Kenya since 1991. Through education and community development schools and projects are helping some of the most disadvantaged in Kenyan society. Kenya’s ethnic diversity has produced a vibrant culture but is also a source of conflict. Challenges include high unemployment, crime and poverty; most Kenyans live below the poverty level of $1 a day. Droughts frequently put millions of people at risk.
