Advent supported project in Tanzania


Expansion of a hospital ward of the Anglican Sisters of St. Mary in Sayuni.

With the alms of the Old Catholic churches in Germany and the collections for missionary work, the Community of St. Mary of Nazareth and Calvary (CMM) received support in Tanzania this year. The Sisters operate a health post, in Sayuni. The churches of the Union of Utrecht have been working for years to support the work of the Anglican Sisters in East Africa. The number of treated patients has increased rapidly in recent years, reports of Dr. Max-Beat Flückiger from Bern, who manages the project on behalf of the International Old Catholic diaconate. This also meant a greater demand for medicines and supplies.

Now the dispensary will be expanded into a hospital ward, thanks to donations and the hard work of the African Sisters: Cecilia, Anjelina, and Mariamu who are trained and experienced nurses. The development and supply of medicines was funded with 18,000 euros from a German Advent alms.
