Who We Are
The Oyugis Integrated Project (OIP) is a community-driven initiative under the stewardship of the Brothers of Our Lady Mother of Mercy (CMM Brothers), a congregation of Catholic religious men dedicated to following Christ’s example of compassion and service. Since 1994, OIP has been committed to supporting individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS, as well as addressing broader community needs in Oyugis, Kenya.
At the core of our mission is the Shirikisho Dispensary, which serves as a vital healthcare hub for the community, offering essential medical services to an average of 100 clients daily, including antenatal and postnatal care. Our plans to establish a maternity unit reflect our ongoing commitment to improving maternal and child health outcomes.
Our services extend beyond healthcare, embracing a holistic approach to community support. We run a home-based care program providing palliative care, medical assistance, and basic needs to those living with HIV/AIDS, facilitated by our dedicated volunteers. We also operate a food support program for handicapped individuals, offering assistance twice a week to ensure that vulnerable members of our community have access to nutritious meals.
In addition, OIP is committed to youth empowerment through skill-building initiatives, such as our tailoring training program for young women. This program not only equips them with valuable skills but also fosters economic independence and self-reliance.
Rooted in the values of sustainability, impact, and continuous improvement, OIP strives to create a healthier, more empowered community. Guided by our faith and the example of Christ, we remain dedicated to being a beacon of hope, resilience, and transformative support for all those we serve.
