Caring for and supporting the community
Together, we promote dignity, education, and health for Timorese families, guided by closeness and local action.

In Timor-Leste, the mission of the Congregation of the Sisters of Reparation of Our Lady of Fatima, through the Sisters of Reparation of Our Lady of Fatima Foundation, has as its main mission to contribute to the dignification of the human person, walking and sharing our life and faith in Christ with all these people.
Since its arrival in Timor-Leste in October 2011, its action has focused on serving the local people in three main areas: education, social and health.
