The journey of Sts. Joseph and Anthony Center is a testament to the commitment of the Little Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi towards empowering female students through education. Established in 2012, the center has played a pivotal role in meeting the growing demand for affordable and secure accommodation near educational institutions in Langata and Karen. The strategic location, approximately 500 meters from CUEA and in proximity to other key institutions, reflects a thoughtful approach to cater to the specific needs of female students pursuing higher education.
Managed by the dedicated Little Sisters of St. Francis, who extend their services not only within Kenya but also to Uganda and Tanzania, the center embodies a mission rooted in the Charism of Newness and fullness of Christ’s life. The core values of prayer, integrity, love of Christ, honesty, simplicity, humility, charity, unity, teamwork, peace, and joy guide the center’s activities, creating an environment that goes beyond mere accommodation. The aspiration to become the leading accommodation provider in the region speaks to a vision that extends beyond the physical space, aiming to make a lasting impact on the lives of the young women who pass through its doors.
The center’s journey is marked by a holistic approach, aiming not only to provide housing but also to prepare and equip students for a future that includes productive activities, employment opportunities, and income generation. With a focus on empowerment, education, and the values of St. Francis, the Sts. Joseph and Anthony Center stands as a beacon of support and transformation for female students in the pursuit of their academic and personal aspirations.
