Sr. Jane Mankaa

Sr. Jane Mankaa felt called by God to serve the poor, but she was not sure how. Then one evening, she saw a small boy sleeping on a street in Yaounde, the capitol of Cameroon.

“I asked him why he was sleeping there and he told me that’s where he lived,” she said. “I brought him some rice, and when I came back to see him the next morning, there were ten other boys with him.” She learned that the street children were all orphans whose parents had died of AIDS. “I knew then that caring for these children was what God wanted me to do.”

It has taken years of hard work, but Sr. Jane’s vision is being realized. Children are now being cared for at the Good Shepherd Home in Bamenda, Cameroon, where they are cared for by the Benedictine Sisters of Bethany, the religious community that Sr. Jane founded. Donation Form
