For more than 25 years, ASEC has educated Catholic sisters across Africa, helping them strengthen their leadership and expand their impact in the communities they serve. We need your help to unlock a challenge matching grant. Thanks to a generous sponsor, every dollar will be matched up to $50,000. This means that a $20 gift becomes $40, a $50 becomes $100, and a $100 becomes $200! To reach our next milestone, we need 100 people to each give $50. Your support helps provide access to higher education and leadership development opportunities that empower sisters to address local and global challenges. Join us during NEPA Gives and help us create lasting impact!

Across Africa, Catholic sisters are gathering for something more than a workshop. Through ASEC’s HESA Reflective Learning Workshops, participants are reflecting on their journeys, reconnecting with peers, and renewing their sense of purpose within their studies and ministries. Held throughout the year across partner countries, these workshops create space for sisters to celebrate progress, strengthen support networks, and respond to real challenges identified by participants themselves. Workshops have already taken place in Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, Cameroon, and Kenya, with more scheduled this May in South Sudan, Malawi, Lesotho, Zambia, Ghana, and Kenya. Together, these gatherings continue building connection, learning, and shared purpose across countries. Read more at the link below!
