Catholic Diocese of Marsabit

CATHOLIC WOMEN ASSOCIATION (CWA)

Women of Faith, Strength & Compassion

The Catholic Women Association (CWA) is one of the strongest pillars of parish life within the Diocese.

Women in Marsabit communities carry deep cultural influence as mothers, educators, peacemakers, and custodians of tradition. The CWA nurtures this strength within the light of the Gospel.
