Our mission in Africa began in 1999 in Ethiopia, but it wasn’t until much later that the SHM Regional House was established. Initially, whenever the sisters came to Addis Ababa, they stayed at the Taro seminary of the Nekemte Vicariate as the centres belonged to the same vicariate. But when in 2005 the third community was opened in Awasa, it was time to open a house in Addis Ababa. So the Anna Home was set up in 2007. This home functions as the regional house for the Africa Region. It is where annual meetings of the region are held, where sisters in transit to the different communities can stay, and where the postulancy and novitiate are housed.

The centre manages the Mother Anna Community Development Project Gullele (MACDPG) which operates different projects for the youth. Assistance is provided to the vulnerable, elderly and poor children.
