“Offer healthy and protected environments,” this was the recommendation of Cardinal John Njue, Archbishop of Nairobi, at the opening of the meeting of CaPEIA (Association of Catholic Educational Institutions), which took place at the Catholic University of East Africa.

The theme of National CaPEIA Week was: Raising Voices; Safeguarding All Children: Our Responsibility.

Paulines Publications Africa, along with other publishers, participated in the event with an exhibit of their publications.

During the encounter, the FSPs presented 4 texts created in collaboration with the Local Church. In harmony with the pastoral invitation of Pope Francis, the initiative seeks to help parents, teachers and children respond to the different types of abuses that occur in today’s society. The books, which were used and tested in the Catholic schools of the dioceses of Malindi and Kitale, are a testimony to collaboration between different religions (Catholic, Anglican, Muslim and indigenous), chosen as valuable interlocutors by means of seminars, workshops, discussions and sharing sessions in these dioceses.
