SISTERS OF CHARITY OF
Burning with Compassionate Love
of Jesus Christ Crucified
Tanzania
The CB Tanzania was started in the year 1959. It was the response to the appeal of Pope Pius XII in “Fidei Donum”. The Brothers of Mercy of Joannes De Deo decided to do the same. Together with them, our sisters went to Tanganjika (Tanzania). The choice was made for Geita district, at Sengerema, in west Tanganjika, Diocese of Mwanza. The Congregation worked together with the Brothers of Mercy Congregation in starting the ‘health services’ in this place.
The history of our settlement in Kenya began in 2000 when the General Board, during the meeting of the General Consultative Body, expressed the dream of starting a community in Nairobi, Kenya.
Currently, CB sisters in Africa are working in healthcare, education, and social and pastoral work.
