Buyangu Mission Health Centre

 

In the diocese of Kakamega, near the city of Kisumu and the famous Lake Victoria in Kenya, a new health centre was opened in Buyangu on Friday, 26 August 2016. At the request of the bishop of Kakamega, the congregation took over this existing health centre which had been abandoned for many years. The goal is to bring it back to life and also to develop the care of psychiatric patients. The nearby convent, which had also been abandoned for years, has been refurbished and readied in order to accommodate a new community of brothers. The Brothers of Charity are present in Buyangu with a concrete work in health care, in addition to the house of formation with an international novitiate and Provincial House in Nairobi.
