WHERE WE ARE
Kajuki is situated near the foot of Mt Kenya, in the Ameru tribal area of Tharaka Nithi County. It is a harsh, semi arid, marginalised part of Kenya, and is home to 40,000 people, many dependent on a fragile, subsistence economy. St Peter's School was established in 2006 by a young, dynamic Kenyan priest, Fr Joe, the parish priest of St Peter's parish, Kajuki, who saw the need to educate orphan and vulnerable children who would not otherwise have the opportunity. The charity, St Peter's Life-Line was started in 2009 by Kenyan-born father and his daughter, after hearing cries of desperation from Fr Joe, during a famine period and in the violent aftermath of the Kenyan elections of 2008. The charity is rooted in the Christian faith, aiming to build a 'Community of Love', but categorically affirm that everyone of any faith, or none, is most welcome.
