Compassionate and loving God,
you created a beautiful world for us to share:
Give us the desire to live simply,
so that our lives show your generosity.
You made us responsible for the earth:
Guide us so that those who come after us may enjoy your creation. Amen.

There are lots of ways to make good things happen

Do something incredible today

Just beyond the frontier

The true meaning of Love and Service

In the heart of the Kangemi slum, where hope is scarce and dreams seem distant,  

St. Joseph Upendo Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) Education Centre emerged as a beacon of hope for the less fortunate. Since its establishment, this haven has been a lifeline for innumerable vulnerable children, providing education and a sanctuary of love and support. Every milestone achieved at Upendo reflects a story of triumph against adversity.

To end poverty, we must focus on providing people living in poverty with the tools to gain economic security.

From humble beginnings, where dedicated individuals dared to dream, the center has become an active educational hub. With every step, the center has imparted knowledge and nurtured aspirations, instilling the belief that circumstances need not define destinies. Milestones serve as a reminder of these children's grit, which society had forgotten. Upendo is a testament to the transformative power of compassion and education, proving that extraordinary futures can bloom from the seeds of love.
