UISG Catholic Care for Children International and GHR will host a convening in Nairobi, Kenya, from May 16-18, 2023, entitled "Reading the Signs of the Times Together: Catholic Care for Children.” This gathering will bring together episcopal leaders, government representatives and Catholic sisters from east Africa to reflect upon and discern the Catholic church’s growing commitment to ensure all children are safe. The centerpiece of the convening will be Catholic Care for Children, a sister-led, charism-driven movement to see that all children can grow up in safe, nurturing families. This will offer an opportunity to consider and collectively reflect upon the progress made in advancing family-based care, and the implications of national legal frameworks and policies in east Africa that now favor family-based care over institutionalization.
Grounded in GHR’s Catholic roots, with deepening appreciation for the role of faith in animating and shaping care, GHR partners with Catholic sisters—women whose leadership, service and spiritual witness have advanced the common good through a profound commitment to working on behalf of the vulnerable and marginalized. With the support of the Rome-based International Union of Superiors General and national associations of women religious, Catholic sisters are emerging as champions of care reform. Working with governmental, civic, and church leaders, and within their local communities, they are leading efforts to transition from institutional care toward family- and community-based care.
