Editor s note: As part of our Coronavirus: One Year Later coverage, we invited leaders of women s congregational associations to reflect on how the pandemic has affected religious life in their regions. Some provided overviews; others focused on their individual congregations as emblematic of shared experience. This entry is from the Association of Consecrated Women in Eastern and Central Africa (ACWECA), which includes national associations of sisters from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Sudan, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
