About This Cause
SALESIANS OF DON BOSCO KENYA - DON BOSCO MISSION KORR The Salesians of Don Bosco in Kenya engage in extensive charitable and humanitarian work, primarily focused on education, vocational training, and social services for vulnerable youth. They work with donors and partners to secure funding for their projects and initiatives, expanding their reach and impact through unwavering dedication to the Salesian Mission. Their efforts aim to transform young people into self-reliant, responsible citizens through holistic formation that addresses physical, intellectual, socio-emotional, and spiritual needs. The Salesians of Don Bosco Eastern Africa province typically includes Kenya, Sudan and South Sudan. Don Bosco Mission Korr is committed to improving the lives of the disadvantaged pastoralist communities of the Rendille and Samburu in Northern Kenya, Kaisut desert–Marsabit County, through sustainable interventions in education, provision of clean water and sanitation. We have identified significant gaps in access to quality education for children and youth, as well as in the availability of safe drinking water and basic sanitation. To address these challenges we are undertaking initiative that includes; sponsorship programs, establishment and support of learning centres, distribution of educational materials to improve literacy and learning outcomes. Construction of boreholes, latrines and handwash stations to ensure long term community health benefits. Education and Vocational Training The core of Salesian mission work focuses on education for poor and vulnerable youth. 1. Primary and Secondary Schools: Provide quality, often free or subsidized education. 2. Technical and Vocational Training: offer training in carpentry, welding, mechanics, hospitality, electrical work, plumbing, IT, tailoring and dressmaking. 3. Scholarships: support students from very vulnerable families as well as those who cannot afford education costs. Don Bosco Mission Korr has boarding facilities for both boys and girls from needy backgrounds mainly supported by sponsors from Poland. There is a vibrant Youth Centre and oratory that gather children from the pastoralist community on a weekly basis and during school holidays. There is also a nursey with 60 pupils.
