Care for Aging Sisters Association in Kenya (CASAK) is an initiative of the Healthy Aging Collaborative, initiated by 22 religious women congregations established in 2023 ,funded by Conrad N. Hilton foundation under the auspice of the Association of Sisterhoods of Kenya, with a mission to expand membership, services to all Catholic sisters in Kenya and to build partnerships with other organizations.

By creating this unified approach, congregations are able to enhance the quality of care provided in the community while ensuring long-term sustainability. This collaboration allows congregations to share resources, expertise, and vision, leading to more effective and compassionate care for the elderly. The unified strategy not only strengthens the congregations’ mission but also serves as a model of sustainable, community-centered care that can inspire and encourage new interventions into the care of the elderly in Kenya and beyond.

By providing a comprehensive approach to caring for aging sisters, addressing key areas necessary for their well-being and ensuring a high standard of care, CASAK supports member congregations to see to it that catholic sisters age with dignity and have a high quality of life after a lifetime of service.

Catholic Sisters have a long history of selfless service, serving in many sectors and in most remote areas. CASAK believes that by giving holistic care to the aging catholic sisters (nuns) will have a great impact on families, communities where they serve in a unique way. Healthy aging will help the sisters to continue offering services and do what they value most and age with dignity.
