Today, Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur work with refugees in London, street children in Nairobi, immigrant farm workers in Florida, AIDS orphans in Zimbabwe, the homeless in Haiti... and always, with women and children, who are among the most vulnerable.

We work to enable people living in poverty. We help them to obtain what is rightfully theirs by changing unjust structures. We believe that education in varied forms is the best way to accomplish this goal.

Recognized as outstanding educators, thousands of Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur have taught children and adults across five continents over the years.

Although many Sisters continue to staff schools, others have chosen to work with the homeless, AIDS patients, the elderly poor — and countless others in need of help. All these ministries have one aim: to proclaim in our time, as St. Julie did in hers, that God is good!
