ASEC educates Catholic sisters in Africa, strengthening their capacity to address local and global challenges.

What We Do

Catholic sisters dedicate their lives to service. Their vital work improves the social, spiritual, healthcare, educational, environmental, and economic conditions of society. Many sisters in Africa, although in professional positions, lack the higher education credentials, training, and/or resources they need to support the communities they live and work in. ASEC fills this gap by delivering programs that enable sisters to achieve the fullest impact of their ministries and ensure the sustainability of their religious institutes.

Why Educate a Catholic Sister?

Educating a sister results in rippling, far-reaching outcomes that are positively and dramatically impacting sustainable development in Africa. Educated and empowered sisters are key players in overcoming many of Africa’s biggest development challenges. Graduates of ASEC’s award-winning programs have a proven capacity to:

Improve healthcare and education systems, build infrastructure, fight human trafficking, and initiate income-generating projects.
Give voice and care to the marginalized and vulnerable.
Take up leadership positions.
Improve the functioning of their religious institutes and ministries.
Mobilize resources to meet urgent human development needs.
