Lusubilo Orphan Care<\/span><\/h4>\n

Brief background of the organization<\/span><\/h4>\n

Lusubilo Community Based Orphan Care was established in 1997 by Sister Beatrice Chipeta, of the Sisters of the Holy Rosary. Initially, Sr. Beatrice began by visiting the villages in Karonga and worked with communities in assisting the sick and orphans, as a pastoral activity. Lusubilo\u2019s obligation is to motivate and empower communities so that they can promote an environment where orphans, the needy, and the elderly are fully cared for. Lusubilo has a strong affiliation to the Catholic Church, thus catholic teachings and ethos are observed at all times. Lusubilo serves both Catholics and non-Catholics.<\/span><\/p>\n
