History
The CIC is an international community that was established by a small group of families in the year 1983. The founding families would gather at the Loreto Convent Msongari Chapel in Nairobi to celebrate the Catholic Faith and this celebration has continued to date. 40 years later, the CIC is now a much larger community with a great number of members celebrating Mass together every Sunday.
It’s all Voluntary!
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the Ocean could be less because of that missing drop – Mother Teresa
Kindly come out and Share your Time, your Resources and your Skills.
Community Concerns
Donating to community projects in need is a powerful way to make a positive impact on the lives of others and create a stronger, more compassionate society. It embodies the spirit of empathy and collective responsibility. When we give, whether it’s our time, resources, or skills, we contribute to the betterment of our community, fostering a sense of togetherness and solidarity. These donations can be a lifeline for essential projects, supporting initiatives that provide education, healthcare, food, shelter, and more to those who require assistance. Through our collective generosity, we become catalysts for change, helping to uplift the less fortunate and address pressing societal issues. It’s a reminder that we all have a role to play in building a more caring and equitable world, one where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and find hope in their future.
