CORE VALUES

Bannabikira Sisters ensure that the following values cement or glue together its vision and mission so as to produce worthwhile results.

HUMILITY: Accepting the presence of God in our lives through faith as Mary the mother of Jesus did in her whole life situations, letting the will of God be done through obedience, self- knowledge and adapation to the acceptable existing context of the time.

FORTITUDE: The Jesus we accepted will in many cases be a "Needy Jesus". Therefore, we attend to this need with mature courageous love manifested in looking after the sick, children especially under our care, visiting the lonely and old people in villages, serving the sick in hospitals, health centre and communities.

SELF DENIAL: In fulfilment of our marternal obligations, we are alert and awake to the people's needs, ready to alleviate their burdens in all possible ways and caring for their spiritual, intellectual, pysical and social needs. "They have no wine". Without self - denial, there are no means of rendering those services.

FRATERNAL CHARITY: Welcoming every person wiht whom we live and work or whom we come across open heartedly, we keep ourselves free from all kinds of rejection, discriminaion or avoidance of people; our only desire is o bring God's life to all
