Passionist Orphanage – Tonga, Kenya
Caring for Abandoned Children
Passionist Orphanage is situated in the remote Kenyan village of Tonga in Homabay County. The orphanage was founded by Passionist Fathers and Brothers in 2006 to take care of children who have lost their parents to HIV and AIDS, are living in extreme poverty, or have been abandoned. Currently the Passionist orphanage is home for 33 children ranging in age from 5 to 16 years. Girls and boys live in separate dormitories guided by full-time, live-in house parents and a Director, but attend the local school together. The needs of the orphanage are great. Last year alone over 500 children applied for admission. Plans are underway to improve and expand the facility. With a contribution of $, you can become a Child Sponsor and cover all their expenses for one year. You will also be helping the orphanage feed, educate, and improve the lives of more children.

Passionist Charism
"We seek the unity of our lives and our apostolate in the Passion of Jesus." The Passionists express their participation in the Passion by a special vow, by which they bind themselves to keep alive the memory of the Passion of Christ. They strive to foster awareness of its meaning and value for each person and for the life of the world. They seek to incorporate this vow into our daily lives by living the evangelical counsels.
