Elderly Ugandan Nuns Who Served Community Now Need Support

In Uganda, elderly nuns who have spent their lives serving their communities as teachers and health-care advocates are now facing challenges as they require assistance in their final years.

These nuns have played a significant role in providing essential services, contributing to education and healthcare across Uganda. Their dedication to helping others has been a cornerstone of community support in the region.

As they age, the nuns themselves are now in need of support, highlighting a cycle of care and the importance of continued assistance for those who have given so much to society.
