The child in the photograph below is being treated for malnutrition in Goma, D R Congo; one of the many children being cared for by our sisters.
The sisters here and elsewhere in D R Congo and Rwanda are grateful to all those who give so generously, for example through our Advent appeal. Treating young children with malnutrition is just one of the projects our sisters are involved in, helping the poorest of the poor, and which this appeal will support.
You can read more about the life and work of our African sisters in our latest Africa Newsletter 2022.
