Ishiara is a small village located in the countryside around the town of Embu, north-east of Nairobi, Kenya. In this rural area, where economic and logistical difficulties are a daily occurrence<\/strong>, despite being cloistered nuns, the Augustinian missionaries work to improve the living conditions of the local population, with a particular focus on children and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 1977, the Augustinian nuns have been committed to the good of those who are facing the greatest difficulties. Our project supports the Monastery for the operation of the Blessed Mother<\/strong> Teresa Fasce School<\/strong>, where nuns educate and assist students from poor families. The facility is a residential home only for girls and it provides education, food and all the necessary care<\/strong> to build hope in the future. For many boys and girls in the village, the meal offered by the Monastery is the only one of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We supported the purchase of a bus<\/strong> to allow students to travel from home to school, in the morning and evening, safely and in case of rain. The Monastery’s current priorities include a water storage facility, a power generator and development of the interior fittings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From 2025 and throughout 2026, our support has also been making the expansion the Blessed Mother Fasce school<\/strong> a reality, with a total commitment of 176,350 euros<\/strong>, of which 60,000 were disbursed in December 2025<\/strong>. The work, which has already begun with the construction of the new building and the roof covering, will allow the nuns to house and give a future to many other young people from poor families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La carit\u00e0 delle monache di Ishiara al servizio dell\u2019istruzione<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3165,"menu_order":24,"template":"","project_category":[],"class_list":["post-5297","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":false,"yoast_head":"\nThe project<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
