This website is about the Catholic Parish of Mivumoni in Coast Province, Kenya, and projects supported its parish priest, Father Joe Kengah.
The Parish consists of 7 Mass Centres, and no tarmac roads between them. Follow this link to see the geography of the parish, and details of each Mass Centre.
Follow this link to see details of a few of the projects that Father Joe and others are supporting and encouraging.
