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.

Communities across Africa are counting on Catholic Sisters, but 48 lack the education needed to carry out their important mission work. You can be a Ray of Hope for a Sister who needs you by donating to her education today.
