Dear Sir/Madam
Expression of Interest of Sr Scholasticah Nganda to become a Board Member of the
International Network of Initiatives in Social Enterprise (INISE)
I wish to willingly submit this letter of intent to serve on the Board of INISE. I am taking over
the Directorship of MPC on 1st August, 2012 after Sr. Mary Geason (Present director) leaves the
office.
I do look forward to a fruitful partnership with INISE.
Mukuru Promotion Centre is a church based charitable organization that was established by the
Sisters of Mercy in 1985. The organization started as a temporary school in the heart of the
Mukuru slums and its key objective then was to provide education to the children of Mukuru
hence get them off the streets. Since its inception, MPC has expanded a great deal and now
operates several projects that focus on three key areas: Education (including vocational training),
Health, and Social Rehabilitation.
MPC’s vision is that the Mukuru community will attain sustainable and holistic human
development and self reliance. Over a period of 25 years, the organization has made remarkable
impact in the lives of the vulnerable Mukuru population (approximated at 600,000) such as the
community has access to affordable and quality health services provided at the Mary Immaculate
clinic, 5000 pupils attend primary schools daily, over 200 students have been sponsored to
secondary school, 60 boys undergo rehabilitation each year and over 100 youths undergo
vocational training yearly.
The overall goal of all MPC actions in 2012-2015 will be to continue its contribution to the
alleviation of the dehumanizing effects of poverty and disease through interventions that lessen
the burden of living and liberate the population to focus on development initiatives.
Mukuru Promotion Centre is registered as a Charitable Trust with the Kenya Department of
Lands Central Registry (2008). In addition the Kenyan Province of the Sisters of Mercy is

2. registered as a Corporate Body “THE REGISTERED TRUSTEES OF THE SISTERS OF
MERCY (KENYA)” No. 63768. The Trustees are the Trustees of Mukuru Promotion Centre.
Wishing you God’s blessings on your good works
Yours sincerely
Sr. Scholasticah Nganda.
