Ethiopia is part of the Holy Spirit Region.

The Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (MSC) have been serving in Ethiopia since 1999 to respond to the needs of the most poor and vulnerable in the communities.

The sisters started to work in Wolayta Zone, Southern Ethiopia Region (formerly SNNPR), the region with the largest catholic population, as well as one of the poorest and most densely populated areas of Ethiopia, providing emergency support.

In the years, the service of the sisters has been adjusting to the changing needs of the population, and two more missions were established in the south of Ethiopia, plus a house in Addis Ababa as a foothold for sisters and visitors passing through the capital city.

Currently the Sisters, in the missions in Ethiopia, carry out many pastoral activities in the areas where the missions are located, holding groups of boys and girls, accompanying them in their faith journey by organizing for them with retreats, meetings and opportunities to share their lives.
 

The Sisters serve today also through Cabrini Ministries Ethiopia (CME), which is a Catholic community-based organization located in Dubbo (Wolayta zone, South Ethiopia Region). CME serves rural communities in Boloso Sore Woreda and Damot Sore Woreda.

Established in 2019, it brings forward the work the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus started when they arrived to Dubbo in 1999. 

In order to adapt the interventions to the shifting needs and priorities, and to ensure long-term community development, CME embarked in a participatory strategic planning process to review and orient its operations to be more effective and achieve a sustainable impact.
