From AMECEA Social Communications:
"A Regional Portrait of Catholic Care for Children in Eastern Africa was officially launched on Tuesday, May 16 and it is designated as the first significant study of its kind that describes Catholic-sponsored care for children in the region using data collected from Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, and Zambia.
The launch served as a watershed moment for the three-day Catholic Care for Children International Conference, which was organized to discuss child protection and safeguarding and ways to fortify families for better child care from the perspective of the Catholic church’s consortium and its partners.
In a speech preceding the actual launch, Sr. Niluka Perera, RGS, CCCI Coordinator of the Union of International Superiors General (UISG) in Rome, said, 'We women religious are at the forefront of taking care of children and therefore UISG felt the need to take up the area of care of children by the women religious as one of their main responsibility.'"
