Catholic sisters are 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. Their leadership, service and spiritual witness have advanced the common good through a profound commitment to working on behalf of the vulnerable and marginalized.
From May 16-18, 2023, UISG Catholic Care for Children International and GHR are convening episcopal leaders, government representatives and Catholic sisters from east Africa in Nairobi, Kenya. The convening marks the launch of a collaborative effort between Catholic Care for Children International (CCCI), the International Union of Superiors General (UISG), the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA), and GHR Foundation on the regional portrait, a first-of-its-kind foundational study on Catholic care. Focused on east Africa, the regional portrait offers data and information on care reform and the significant shifts and progress led by Catholic sisters in the region. It promises to have a significant impact on the sector writ large.
