Fr. Marty Holler, a retired priest from Ohio University and long time friend to Mike Shawver, has been helping St. Jude's rural Catholic school in Mweiga, Nyeri, Kenya for over 12 years. The school has amazing kids and teachers, but needs a lot of help with facilities, classroom resources, food, and many other essentials. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

We recently (Jan. 2026) used donor funds to purchase new textbooks for all the kids, who have never had their own new books. For a Thank You video from the school after receiving their new textbooks, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaZ67rwUImU

Mike and his family visited the school in the summer of 2025. Mike is a long time friend of Fr. Marty and an Ohio University alumni, '97.

Thanks for your care and support of St. Jude's school in Kenya!
