Sisters of the Child Jesus

The Sisters of the Child Jesus was founded in 1926 in the Diocese of Kasama to serve the poor of the Northern Province of Zambia, Africa. There are currently 145 Sisters serving in a wide variety of ministries.

Their motto is “Apostles to our own people”. This they carry out with an amazing amount of energy, faithfulness and great joy, even though they are often painfully short of adequate resources.

Their Generalate (the headquarters) is in Kasama, a city of some 200,000, where a small number of Sisters maintain residence.
