The Little Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi, founded in 1923 in Uganda by Mother Kevin Kearney (an Irish missionary), is an indigenous African congregation dedicated to education, healthcare, and rural development. Over 1,000 sisters serve in East Africa, fostering self-reliance in a region with 200 million Catholics. Their African-led growth reflects the continent's 1.7% annual Catholic increase.
