Safeguarding Training in Kenya In 2022, VLM, through the Vincentian Fathers, was successful in obtaining funding from Misean Cara to run Safeguarding Training across the Vice-Province of Kenya. As part of this, a ‘Train the Trainer’ course was run to enable the Vice-Province to continue to roll this out with staff across their projects, thus embedding safeguarding as a key foundation in every parish. In January 2025, one of the trained members of staff ran safeguarding training at the De Paul School in Matisi. It is fantastic to see the long-term impact of this funding and the importance being placed on keeping children and vulnerable adults safe. Share this article
