DMI work began in Kenya in 1988. Currently the work is being lead by
Josephat Mulongo a profoundly deaf man who is coordinator of the work
there as well as pastor of the Nairobi Immanuel Church of the Deaf.

A team of deaf pastors are now serving churches and ministering in
schools in Nairobi, Mombasa, Mumias, Bungoma, Ikinu, Kilifi, Oyugis,
Eldoret, Nakuru, Kwale and Kapsabet. In the Nairobi area there are
ministries going on in Doonholm and Kambui as well as the main down
town church. In May of 2003 new ministires are planned for Ana Khan,
Machakos and Karen schools for the deaf.

Kenya Christian School for the Deaf is located in Western Kenya near
the town of Oyugis. Commenced and administered by Gloria Catolico
Okello a Filipino missionary with DMI, the school continues to grow
by taking in needy deaf children from the area. Many of these
children are AIDS orphans. All teaching and child care staff are
deaf.

Currently the school is meeting in rented facilities in the town but
land has been purchased nearby and building will commence as soon as
funding is available and the land title has been cleared.

Children in the school are in need of sponsors. Please check the
[sponsorship page](/sponsorship/) for information.
