In Garam, formation takes place for our young members.
Besides that, the Sisters conduct a mobile clinic for the villages belonging to our parish, and they also reach out to other villages where there is a need for health care. One day a week per village, the team of nurses goes out to see the people who need help. They provide consultation and medicine, and also help people with referral to hospitals or doctors if there is such a need. Often, people also come to our house at night when there is a health problem.

Mobile clinics often take place in the station churches

Because in villages in the bush, it is very difficult for the smaller children to reach one of the schools, we started a pre-school in Azhin Khasa with about 120 children.
During the graduation of our students in July of 2010, the representatives of the Ministry of Education of Niger State suggested that we also add Primary classes to our nursery. They have now accepted our school, it has government approval. The building goes on with the help of the ladies of the firm "Julius Berger", a German construction companywhich has been working in Nigeria for the last 35 years.
The school has about 200 students by now, and applications keep coming. We urgently need a school bus as children from many of the remote villages also want to come to our school.

Sisters teach catechism in Garam and in Gyedna, in that way enabling the catechists to also reach out to other villages in our big parish.

With the help of sponsors in Germany and in America, we were able to build boreholes in several villages which had no access to clean water. There is more need for that in other villages.

In August every year, our children from the Angel Guardian Home in Mgbele come to spend some time with us. They all enjoy the days in the centre of the congregation, and it is a good practise for the novices and the postulants to care for our children and to give them a special time during vacation.
