African Sisters Education Collaborative
SLDI alumnae Sr. Vera Ndifoin Nayah, Sisters of St. Therese of the Child Jesus (SST (STH)), embraces innovative farming practices that promote healthy living and strengthen her community. Her work with poultry and organic farming reflects the lasting impact of ASEC training and her commitment to sustainable, healthy living.
Through her research on deforestation and her work as a teacher, Sr. Agnes Kachali is educating communities in Malawi to protect the environment and inspiring young people to take action for a sustainable future.
In Uganda, the Banyatereza Sisters are leading the way in sustainable agriculture through their Banyatereza Coffee initiative. With support from ASEC/SLDI and partnerships with the Uganda Coffee Development Authority, the Sisters are transforming 34 acres of land into a thriving coffee plantation. This innovative project not only generates income for the Institute but also fosters community collaboration, land conservation, and pastoral outreach.
On September 27, 2023 ASEC participant Sr. Josephine Muthoni Kwenga, SJT won a People’s Choice Award for her Sustainable Agriculture Project in Kenya.
Sisters are dedicated to solving the serious environmental issues facing Africa today, leaving the world in better condition than how they received it.
