History of Focolare NewHumanity Africa

In 2016, the International Projects Office of the Focolare Movement was established in Rocca di Papa, Italy, to support global initiatives through fundraising, training, and project management.

Building on this vision, the Projects Office for Eastern Africa was launched in November 2017 at Mariapolis Piero, Juja, Kenya. Its purpose was to coordinate and strengthen local initiatives across the region, while building capacity in proposal writing, fundraising, monitoring, and evaluation.

Since then, the office has grown into the coordinating centre for New Humanity Africa, supporting projects in peacebuilding, youth empowerment, intercultural dialogue, education, and sustainability. Today, it continues to connect local communities with international partners, ensuring that initiatives are impactful and sustainable
