The Daughters of Charity is an international Catholic community of women dedicated to serving poor persons, to walk with them towards empowerment and a more secure and fulfilling way of life. Founded in 1633 in France by St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac, the order is known for its apostolic life, which involves living and working directly among the people they serve in areas such as healthcare, education, and social services. They have a global presence, including a strong and expanding presence in Kenya, where they continue their mission to uphold the dignity of those who are discriminated against or disadvantaged.
