Over 1,009 Catholic Sisters from eight countries - Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan, Zambia, and Malawi have benefited from these efforts. 67 sisters are enrolled and working towards their diploma or degree at partner colleges in both the USA and Africa. In 2013, 282 sisters participated in Basic Technology and Web Design training in all of these countries.
