African Sisters Education Collaborative (ASEC)

ASEC and Marywood University were awarded a grant from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation to continue delivering the Sisters Leadership Development Initiative (SLDI) program.

In April 2013 ASEC and Marywood University were awarded a grant from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation to continue delivering the Sisters Leadership Development Initiative (SLDI) program in eight sub-Saharan countries (Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, South Sudan and Malawi).

This year, 2013, SLDI will benefit a total of 274 sisters in Basic Technology and Web Design training.
