In Addis Ababa, the capital which counts over four million inhabitants, and is where all the country's religious institutions are based, an Interfaith Council has been created. A Council that, the head of the archdiocese's Socio-Pastoral commission goes on to explain, together with the municipal administration, “also organises solidarity activities for the needy of all faiths, including followers of traditional religions”.
Sr Nieves explains the congregation has six missions in Ethiopia and that their main commitment is education, with a preference for the poor. “In our vocational schools, especially the one in Addis Ababa, 17 young mothers live with us, each with a child. She adds that “They are very poor, so we try to share everything with them. The women study in the vocational training school, and we invite them to participate in our Catholic celebrations, even though they come from other religions.”
At the same time, she adds, Ramadan is very close this year: “We will celebrate Easter on 16 April and the Muslims on 21 April, Friday will conclude Ramadan. And even though we cannot have specific times of prayer with them, it is nice to see how we are all together in this time of penance”.
