Sisters of Notre Dame in South Africa
SND foundation established in 1899
Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur arrived in South Africa in 1899. Today we have 10 Sisters of Notre Dame in this country, where ministries include teacher training of farm school teachers, skills training, and renovations to schools.
Our Sisters have been hailed by the South African government as having had great influence in dismantling the apartheid system through their dedication to education and to materially poor people in South Africa.
