Project Mission:

Teacher is providing clean water to studentsThe Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur participate in a worldwide mission to spread the goodness of God. An important way the Sisters are living this mission is reaching out globally through the Clean Water for Life Project to provide life-saving clean, safe water to the students our Sisters serve in Africa, South and Central America.

The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur operate a vast network of schools and missions in 17 countries on five continents which allows us to build cross-cultural understanding among school children here in the U.S. and in developing and impoverished communities across the globe. Encouraging solidarity with those our Sisters serve, fostering compassion, and advancing global connections are hallmarks of schools operated by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.
