Religious Sisters in Mauritania dedicate their lives to helping the poor, but often face living in poverty themselves. There are only 27 religious Sisters in this Country which is one of the poorest countries in the world, and the Sisters care for expectant mothers, the sick, migrants, prisoners and disabled persons. They work in the schools and other educational facilities and teach the women, who have no opportunity to attend school, such practical skills as sewing, and also reading and writing. The Sisters need our help to continue this noble mission.
