Serving God's People in Africa
since 1868

The Missionaries of Africa are an international Roman Catholic Missionary Society of priests and brothers devoted to witnessing to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Africa and among Africans, wherever they may be.

Working with local churches, we offer Christ’s message of peace, hope and reconciliation that ends division, and love that brings an end to hatred. Once these seeds of faith are planted, we move on to other fields where the Gospel message has not yet been heard.

How We Help: Education

Education is the biggest factor in changing the economic realities for a developing country. Without educated people, no country or community can achieve or sustain economic development. Education develops people’s understanding of themselves and the world around them. It improves the quality of their lives and provides wide-ranging social benefits to individuals, families, and society.

Where We Serve

The Missionaries of Africa were founded 150 years ago for the Evangelization of Africa. They continue today to remain faithful to their call to share the life and mission of Jesus, and to give witness to the Gospel in Africa and among Africans wherever they may be.

Access to clean, safe water is a basic human right, but for many families in West Africa, it remains out of reach. In villages like Lergho, Burkina Faso, existing wells are overwhelmed, and women and children spend hours walking long distances just to collect water. The current system can no longer meet the needs of the growing population.

With your help, the Missionaries of Africa are drilling new wells in villages like Lergho. This Easter season, we are focused on providing clean water to families who struggle to access this essential resource. Your support will improve lives, providing not only water but also hope for a better future. Together, we can create healthier, safer communities and a lasting impact where it is needed most.
