Even after her passing from this world in August, Sr. Miriam’s work of rehabilitating and empowering young people in the slums of Nairobi continues.
Young people from the slum are often unable to get employment, but, thanks to Sr. Miriam’s team, many are given the skills needed to find meaningful work as a way out of chronic poverty.
This is done through life-skills training, faith development, character formation, behavior changes and empowerment into vocational skill training so that they are employable.
There are job opportunities for people with technical training who otherwise might continue living in idleness and hopelessness.
In the slum areas, an average of 75% of young people are unemployed and without income. Even those who have some employment are in casual labor on the streets with no permanency.
Of the 1,000 young people Sr. Miriam worked with in the past five years, 89% are now in employment and finding a way out of poverty. LifeSiteNews readers have sponsored many young people into technical training colleges, as well as feeding hundreds of children at Sr. Miriam’s school for children from the slum.
The money raised on this page will be used to sponsor more youth into technical colleges and to assist them with finding employment afterwards.
Thank you to everyone who has and will make an impact through Sr. Miriam’s continued mission with the poor.
