The Knights of the Orthdox Order of St. John Russian Grand Priory carries on a nearly 1000 year tradition of service to Humanity. Its traditions extend back to 1048 with the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem which started the first hospitals during the crusades to take care of the sick and injured regardless of race, creed or ability to pay.
In the month of February, our missionaries visited Blessings Children's Home in the County of Machakos. There are 63 Children between the age of 2 to 18 and it's headed by Mrs. Susan Gitonga who is also the Founder.
We provided Vegetable Oil, Maize flour, and Green Grams. We also sorted a pending water bill, which enabled them to have water access.
The area faces frequent drought seasons and the Home had a shortage of Food.
In January, our missionaries visited Shadow Mountain Orphanage that is located in Baba Dogo area in Nairobi. The orphanage was founded by Sarah Ogutu and they manage 78 Children together with her Husband.
During the visit, we provided Green Grams, Vegetable Oil, Yellow Beans, Pishori Rice, Maize Meal, Sugar, Detergent Powder, Bar Soap, and toilet papers.
