ister Augustina Obi and Sister Helen Ohiemi  work with vulnerable women in Feira De Santana-Bahia, Brazil.

Espacio viva Mulher: The Women’s Space, is a Social Pastoral Ministry with an ecumenical bias, a meeting place for people and community.
Our commitment is to the most impoverished people: we work with women in situations of social vulnerability.  Our work is moved by faith and in the name of the Gospel.  Our option is for life and against death. This is our spirituality and mysticism, based on perseverance and hope, in the constant search for liberation.  Our commitment is to solidarity, to be a prophetic and evangelical presence.

We work with dedicated helpers and volunteers, “pedagogues” who help the women with their education, or who engage in counselling, consolation and rescuing.
This year we celebrate Ten Years of Espacio Viva Mulher and we thank God for the many blessings He pours out on us all.
