About us

Helping African Religious women never doubt that they are Valuable & Powerful

Watawa wa Taa can be loosely translated as ‘Consecrated Women of Light’ in Kiswahili. The name was chosen as an ode to the remarkable presence and works of women religious in Africa. Whether as members of international, missionary or local congregations, holding pontifical or diocesan status; African Catholic Sisters can be found at the forefront of the society, working for sustained and systemic change in the areas of healthcare, education, social work, pastoral care, agriculture etc.

Advocacy

Religious sisters could use the information in the manual to advocate internally in religious institutions in areas such as formation, leadership discernment and ministerial  congregational renewal amongst others.

Network building

By networking during our
conversations, sisters will organically identify potential collaborators and mentors going forward. 

CULTIVATING CHAMPIONS

The success of our project is dependent on dissemination of our findings, but also in the implementation by choosing individually and collectively to embrace a revitalized way of life.

Our project’s aim is twofold in nature:

One
To celebrate the remarkable witness of African Catholic Sisters who have contributed significantly ministerially by sharing their stories told in their own words through a theologically reflective lens. This project will be known as ‘Living Ancestors”.
TWO
To act as an incubator of ideas, thoughts and inspirations of African Catholic Sisters from around the continent as they reflect on this shared and unique way of life and together seeking the Holy Spirit’s invitation as to how to move forward together.
Events

We organize inclusive events for Religious Women

Our impact
To inspire, motivate and educate other women religious and beyond but also celebrate the contributions of these women to our church and society.
