MINISTRIES IN AFRICA
Introduction for Kenya
The RNDM Sisters first went to Kenya in 1967 soon after Kenya gained independence from Britain. The Sisters are currently in three Dioceses; Nairobi, Machakos and Meru. The majority of the Sisters are Kenyans with individuals from Myanmar, Vietnam, Peru, Samoa and India. Responding to the priorities of Euphrasie Barbier they reach out to those who are most vulnerable, seeking ways to enable them to live dignified lives.
Region: Africa
Featured Projects: 1
Number of professed Sisters: 33
Project 1. Nagiriki — St. John the Baptist Parish, Mitwero, Lindi, Tanzania
A local family donated land for a prayer hall, and the community with assistance built their church together, a true fruit of faith, sacrifice, and unity.
On July 7, 2026, the community joyfully celebrated the blessing of the new church, with Bishop Wolfgang Pisa joining for his first visit to Nagiriki, along with neighbours from other faith traditions.
The Australian Community has assisted the congregation to buy twenty acres of land in the village of Mitwero to construct a house for the sisters. This will be followed by construction of a school building to start an education ministry in this village.
Project 2. Ndoromo School — South Sudan
Parents have embraced the school wholeheartedly, forming a Parents and Teachers Association, sharing food for the students and building a school kitchen by hand from local materials.
However, challenges still remain. Without steady funding, the school could lose its teachers, and the children would lose the stability they need to learn and grow. Yet Ndoromo stands as a sign of hope and of a community’s shared belief that education can change their children’s futures.
The students also share a special friendship with the children of Star of the Sea School in Rockingham, Western Australia, whose fundraising provides many of their school needs. This bond gives children in both schools a window into each other’s lives and learning.

Project 3. Euphrasie School — Mbajone, Meru, Kenya
Today, more than 200 students call Euphrasie School home. Most come from families who cannot afford even basic supplies like books and pencils.
The students share a special partnership with the children of Our Lady of Fatima School in Palmyra, Western Australia, whose fundraising helps purchase many of the books and supplies their classrooms rely on. This friendship has grown into something truly lovely, giving children in both schools a window into each other’s lives and learning.
Your support can help furnish classrooms and provide subsidised stationery, giving these children the space and tools they need to learn and thrive.
Project 4 – TEI WA NGAI – Program for Children with Special Needs
The vision of Tei Wa Ngai is that people with disabilities are accepted in the society and are living fully independent and happy lives according to their potential. To encourage and empower parents and society to accept children with disabilities to access health care and education, to provide protection and financial sustainability.
The Sisters together with a group of dedicated Health Workers visit the homes of the children and work in collaboration with other groups. The program runs a physiotherapy clinic in Matuu and some outlying centres. A clinic for those with epilepsy is conducted monthly in collaboration with the Sisters’ dispensary in Matuu. In 2019 the Sisters were gifted with land and hope to build a rehabilitation centre to enable the continuation and expansion of the services.
