In the Molo community, the sisters have a 17-hectare field that they use for livestock farming and agriculture; expanding this activity made it possible to launch the social enterprise supported by spazio + spadoni. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sister Marie Louise arrived in Italy on 25 May 2022 and, a few days later, began serving and training at Misericordia di Viareggio. She was deeply moved by seeing men and women voluntarily serving the marginalized and those in need. Since she would return to Kenya at the end of her training in Italy\u2014specifically to Molo in Nakuru County, where she would put the \u201cPane di Misericordia\u201d into practice through agriculture\u2014Marie Louise also trained at the Cooperativa Calafata in Lucca to deepen her knowledge and gain practical farming experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Molo is a town of more than 150,000 inhabitants in western Kenya, extending along the Mau Forest. The settlement was founded primarily because of the area\u2019s fertile land and abundant vegetation. Molo has seven neighborhoods and, according to the Kenyan National Potato Policy, is Kenya\u2019s second-largest potato producer. Due to the violent intertribal clashes it has experienced over the years, it has become a very poor area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, the Sisters Ministers of the Sick opened the Lorenzino Dispensary in Molo, an outpatient clinic whose main area of work is providing healthcare support to patients seeking help with the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, bronchopneumonia, typhoid, malaria, amoebiasis, and other illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2023, Sister Marie Louise attended the English-language course on the Works of Mercy at the Convento di San Cerbone and returned to her community in Kenya on 31 March of the same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
