Fondation Ste Zithe
The future of the ZithaWerke
The times may have passed for young women to opt frequently for a life as a nun, and therefore there may not be new ZithaSisters too, but the importance and relevance of their values remain. Through the Fondation Ste Zithe, the works of the ZithaSisters are set to be continued permanently.
About us
The Fondation Ste Zithe is a state-recognised charitable foundation under Luxembourg law, founded in 1995 by the ZithaSisters in Luxembourg*. As a charitable organisation, the foundation helps the needy, the elderly and the sick, working for social and charitable causes in Luxembourg and Malawi.
* The statutes of the Fondation Ste Zithe were last updated in 2020.
Our main areas of support
In Luxembourg, the work of the Fondation Ste Zithe is focused on promoting projects within the ZithaGroup. Through personal care and good contacts with residents, their families and all those who make avail of the various services of the ZithaGroup, those in charge have a clear picture, of which needs are to be addressed, which services are lacking and what is needed to provide the elderly and the sick with a little more quality of life, even here in Luxembourg. The Fondation Ste Zithe is pleased to be able to promote and support such initiatives with the help of your donations.
In Malawi, our work focuses on promoting the health of the rural population, providing training and combating hunger and malnutrition. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. Together with Eng oppen Hand fir Malawi and Zikomo – Hilfe für Malawi , the two other NGOs of the Zitha Sisters, we are working to give people in Malawi a chance.
