The "Fr. Tom's Kids" Program pairs sponsors with orphans & needy students. Sponsored students are provided a year of school fees, boarding, school supplies, basic medical care, uniforms, and books. Most of Fr. Tom’s Kids are orphans whose families are victims of HIV/AIDS.  Their families are unable to take care or educate them.Most recently we have assisted two young brothers who managed to escape the situation in Sudan.

Education is the foundation for creating a more just society.  Educated people are empowered to work for peace and justice against the current corruption in their part of the world.  Education builds informed leaders and enables those to raise their families out of the poverty cycle.

Fr. Tom’s Kids is an organization which is changing lives for the better.  As we seek to remain in solidarity with our brothers and sisters around the world, we are striving to make a difference in the quality of their lives.  


The Dominican Friars of Eastern Africa, in addition to education, are also committed to the character formation of our students. The motto of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) is TRUTH. Please help us to make a difference in the life of a student by making your donation today.

The opportunity to correspond with your student and follow your student's progress is available. This is especially easy if you use e-mail.

Please pray for the work of the Dominican Friars in Eastern Africa
Thank you for your generosity!
