Supporting Catholic sisters to become recognized as global leaders in sustainable human development.
Catholic sisters are selfless leaders serving individuals living in poverty and experiencing disadvantage in some of the most challenging contexts in the world. Sisters are trusted community-based leaders who solve complex social problems. More than 700,000 sisters around the world educate our children, care for individuals living in poverty, stand with individuals experiencing oppression, promote peace and advocate for justice. With ministries at the heart of human development efforts and with a commitment to serve people from all walks and life and religious beliefs, Catholic sisters are uniquely positioned to be recognized as among the most trusted and effective leaders in meeting the global promise to end poverty by 2030 and beyond – a component of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
