Coalition Participants
UNANIMA International has 23 Member Communities with over 22,000 Members in 85 Countries throughout the world.
Sisters come from 17 countries and serve in 11 countries around the world. Trained in health-related professions, we go to areas where human needs are greatest. Our special concern is the care of mother and child and the fostering of family life. More recently we have confronted other issues, such as: human trafficking, gender-based and domestic violence, refugees and migrants, mental health, empowering communities to take responsibility for their health, and raising awareness about the right to health care.
We follow the spirit of the Rule of Saint Benedict, which emphasizes seeking God in all things. We welcome the collaboration of our AMMMs: women and men who share our spirituality and healing charism while continuing to live their own unique calls and commitments as part of the Church’s mission.
“In a world where human rights are trampled and natural resources are abused, we STAND WITH . . . WOMEN who have been used and exploited. . . DISPLACED PERSONS. . . DEFENSELESS CHILDREN, victims of abandonment, sexual trafficking and abuse. . . We want to work together in CARING FOR OUR EARTH and educating others in the responsible use of its resources. . .”
As one of three branches of the Salvatorian Family, the Sisters of the Divine Savior collaborate with Society of the Divine Savior priests and brothers, and Lay Salvatorian women and men known as the International Community of the Divine Savior. Their collaborative efforts include formation and pastoral care programs; anti-human trafficking and justice initiatives; prison ministry; education, healthcare, and social services in behalf of migrants and refugees, especially women and children.
