AN OUTREACH TO THE PASTORALIST COMMUNITY 2020 SUPPORTED BY CONRAD HILTON FOUNDATION GRANT FOR COVID 19 RESPONSE


In the past two years, the sisters have walked in the frontline to fight against covid19 creating awareness on prevention, vaccination, and treating those infected and counseling them, reaching to over 7,050968 people and vaccinating over 150,000 for COVID19 (1.8%) of the country’s total vaccine administered by April 15th, 2022. A very encouraging result amidst the resistance to the vaccines.

Catholic sisters have always worked to improve and increase accessibility of basic healthcare to the most vulnerable in the communities. Majority of them run levels one and two health facilities, which mostly take care of the poor and vulnerable. Owing to their vast distribution across the country, direct engagement in the health sector and proximity to masses of people, catholic sisters have a strategic advantage of reaching the masses with COVID-19 preventive and vaccination messages.
