Christ Centered Commitment

At  Benedictine Sisters of St. Agnes, we envision a world where every individual has access to basic necessities and the opportunity to live a fulfilling life. We strive to create a community where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential.

Our values are at the core of everything we do. We believe in compassion, empathy, and the power of community. We are committed to treating every individual we serve with dignity and respect, and to working together to create a better world.

Since our founding in 1938,  Benedictine Sisters of St. Agnes have had a significant impact on our community. We have provided food, shelter, and other basic necessities to thousands of individuals in need, and we have helped countless others gain the skills and resources they need to improve their lives.

Many of our Sisters are trained and serve as Doctors, Dentists, Nurses, Lab Tech's, pharmacists and administrators to carry out Christ's healing presence.

We provide health care to thousands of rural Tanzanians, including at no cost for those who are not able to pay.  Often a chicken or small bag of rice as payment. 

After years of fundraising we constructed a new dispensary.  Just a day before the official opening,a gas leak ignited and destroyed the facility.  We continue in our old building, as the only fully functioning health service for a large, multiple village area...until we can rebuild.
