 On Sept. 27, 2011, the Director of JPICFA, Br. Joe Ehrhardt and Sr. Venantius Munee, convener for FI met Dr. Beyani Chaloka, the Special Rapporteur for the Human Rights of the Internally Displaced Persons to Kenya.
Their report (here available) presented, in particular, the conditions of the Internally Displaced women, children and men living at the Ndatho Camp of Lower Subukia, where the Order of the Friars Minor is present by parish and development work.
The meeting revealed itself very enriching for both parties. A bond of collaboration was consolidated, encouraging the Franciscan Family to continue serving the most vulnerable of the society. (The report of the Special Rapporteur is available here). |

The Franciscan Family, through the office of Justice Peace and Integrity of Creation Franciscans Africa (JPICFA), invites you to join in a week of prayer and fasting in solidarity with the Internally displaced persons.
It will take place with effect from the afternoon on Sunday 10th to the morning of Sunday 17th as Christians celebrate the Lord's passion on Palm Sunday.
The office of JPIC Franciscans Africa is a programme of the Franciscan Family Association in Kenya with and African mandate.
A key theme of the fifth week of the Lenten Campaign Booklet distributed in the kenyan parishes is "Restorative Justice and Healing". While the country is calling for the retributive justice that is expected out of the International Criminal Court and/or a local tribunal, we would like to make a call towards the demands of Restorative Justice.
Our Internally displaced brothers and sisters are a wound that is crying out for healing.
This is just an urgent call to action to all people of good will, to leave the comfort of our homes for a few days or hours in solidarity with our yet to be resettled, displaced brothers and sisters.
Your fraternal participation will be an expression of your solidarity with who suffer.
