In Ethiopia, we partner with the Ethiopian Catholic Secretariat (Roman rite) and serve under the development branch of the Jimma Bonga Apostolic Vicariate.

In Ethiopia, we work with a Swiss organization, Associazione SAED Etiopia,  to run a very isolated satellite health care facility at Agaro Bushi Primary Clinic:

In Kenya, we serve as lay missionaries of the Diocese of Homa Bay.  Our affiliation with the Roman Catholic church there allows us to fulfill our mission in health care, orphan care and community development.
