The Good Shepherd Program (GSP) Meru, is a ministry of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd sisters (RGS) whose main mission is to empower women, girls, and children whose condition in life cries out for the healing and merciful love of Jesus the Good Shepherd to help them to become the people God created them to be.
This program began in Meru, in 1993. It began with a feeding program in response to frequent pleas from children who sought help from the community of sisters at their central office in Kambakia.
The Program runs within Meru County with bases in three main locations namely, Kangeta in Igembe Central Constituency, Kooje in Imenti North Constituency, and Tumaini in Buuri East Constituency.
Children, both boys, and girls are the primary beneficiaries of this program. The children who are under the support are usually referred to the program by community leaders who are familiar with their life circumstances.
The Nutrition and Health Project is designed to respond to the nutritional needs of the children in the program, their parents, and the community in which the program operates.
The program conducts community health education outreaches working with the MicroFinance Groups which help to mobilize the community.
The Program has also run a school feeding program in five schools which has greatly contributed to the well-being of children in those schools.
The micro-finance project is focused on the parents and guardians of the children in the sponsorship program. The project runs by the establishment of Family Circle Groups (also called Faith Circle Groups) into which parents and guardians of sponsored children are expected to take membership.
