Global Solidarity - Kenya
We established this special relationship in 2005 as a project of a JustFaith class. We invited Monsignor John Mutiso Mbinda to visit us at St.. Michael’s. He told us of the extreme poverty in the village of Miaani: no clean water, electricity or medical care; food shortages especially during the droughts; hundreds of children orphaned since their parents died of AIDS and unable to go to school without uniforms. Through your generosity we have maintained a medical clinic there, paid for many orphans’ uniforms, obtained scholarships for more than 20 girls to go to secondary school and built classrooms and a dormitory and bought books and a generator for the students at St. Mary’s; and given seed money for the women’s group (Aloha Women) to grow crops.. MAHALO! We still need you help to continue the clinic (named St. Michael’s Medical Clinic) and would like to offer more scholarships for the needy girls who could not attend high school without your help!
Third dig of a well was successful in Mianni, Kenya
Good News from our Global Solidarity Mission in Miaani, Kenya! The Third Try Is Successful! The Global Solidarity Ministry thanks everyone for their prayers and donations to provide a source of clean water for our sisters and brothers in Miaani Kenya. Our third try in over five years has finally resulted in a well. The driller had to go down 600 feet through solid rock to reach the aquifer. The flow rate is less than we had hoped for but it will be a source of clean, healthy water for the village who previously had none. God bless you for your generosity!
The Global Solidarity ministry wants to especially thank one of our members, Tom Hering, who spearheaded and contributed many hours working for the success of this project!!
Donations from our Global Solidarity Ministers have also paid for a young woman to attend the university in Nairobi.

St. Michael’s parishioners set up a medical clinic in Miaani.
St. Michael’s Medical Clinic - In 2005 five St. Michael’s parishioners set up a medical clinic in Miaani, with your financial help. We have staffed and stocked medicine and supplies to treat the villagers of Miaani and surrounding villages. Our hope for the future is that there will be a doctor there. With the continued help of our community this will become a reality!
If you would like to contribute to our missions, write your check to St. Michael the Archangel with a notation for Global Solidarity. If you want to send a girl to secondary school in Kenya, the scholarships are $365 for one year. That includes tuition and fees plus room and board. God bless you!
We encourage our Catholic community to contribute their talents and gifts to our global solidarity missions.
