SISTER STAN TERESE MUMUNI
NAZARETH HOME FOR GOD’S CHILDREN
Ghana
After years of missionary work in West Africa, Sister Stan Terese Mumuni founded the Nazareth Home for God’s Children in 2009 to serve one of the most vulnerable populations in Ghana: “spirit children.” Certain communities believe children who are born with physical, mental or behavioral disabilities are bad omens and must be cast out or even killed. Sister Stan takes in these innocents and raises them with tenderness and love, providing the sustenance and care they need to thrive.
