* It is not safe to send donations or personal checks directly to Kenya as the mail can be unreliable. All donations should be made out to "DOMINICAN FRIARS KISUMU" & sent to our Dominican Mission Office in New York City for safe transfers of donations. In the memo section of your check please write the name of your sponsored student or how you wish your donation to be designated.

N.B. - Please contact the friars first before sending any parcel to your sponsored student. It may be expensive for the Dominicans to receive parcels due to Kenyan customs & duty. If you are sending a parcel, please notify the friars so that they may notify you when it arrives safely. There are no charges to receive books. In most cases it is possible to purchase most things in Kisumu. Please enquire with the friars before sending anything!Please contact the Friars first before sending any parcel to your sponsored student.
