John Mahia-ini
John Mahia-ini was an Anglican bishop in Kenya during the last quarter of the twentieth century.[1] he was Bishop of Mount Kenya Central from 1984[2] to 1993.[3] After his retirement, Bishop Mahiaini and his wife Started a school called St. Anna Care Centre for the orphans and the vulnerable in the Gathukeini location, his home place. It is from this place that he also started a goat project for the elderly to empower them financially. The school currently has a population of 390 children from the local community and serves 150 elderly men and women. His driving strength is found in the Bible, James 1:27; 'Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.' (ESV) This work is supported by people of good will both in Kenya and abroad; Britain, America, Slovakia, Sweden and Canada.
