To complete the house for the elderly and aged sisters among the sisters of Mary of Kakamega ,Kenya.
Date Published:
I belong to the religious congregation of the sisters of Mary of Kakamega ,Kenya. Am a nurse by profession and have a passion for caring for the elderly and aged people. Our congregation has about 600 sisters in different ages. 150 sisters are in the age of 60 and above. The congregation is growing and soon or later we shall have a big number of sisters who will need assistance care or total care. we realizes there is need to have a house for the elderly care. Holy father the Pope has talked so much about the care for the elderly in the society. Dementia is now a health issue that needs our attention among the sisters, therefore it is my humble request that you support us to complete and equip the house that will soon be a home for the elderly and aged. Hilton foundation gave as something for a start that enabled us to do renovation of the house which is not complete. we wish our sisters and members of the community to age gracefully with dignity which will end happily with no regrets or bitterness. We need to complete the house equip it and train more care takers for the house. The house has 25 self contained rooms, a big dinning hall, a chapel, recreation room, a kitchen, a laundry , offices , nurse's desk and drug rooms for each wing. and many other things. i will attach a report that i submitted to Avila Institute of Gerontology who trained me.
