These nuns spent a lifetime helping others. In their last years, who will help them?
In Uganda, elderly nuns who have dedicated their lives to community service face challenges in receiving adequate care in their final years due to limited resources and lack of specialized end-of-life support. Sister Jane Francis Nakafeero, a leader in the Little Sisters of St. Francis, has raised awareness about this issue, prompting collaboration with the African Palliative Care Association to improve care for aging religious women. This effort reflects a growing recognition of the need for better support systems for those who have long provided care to others.
A group of nuns in Uganda, who have spent their lives helping others, are now struggling to get proper care in their old age.
