Huambo, Angola
Mosteiro cisterciense Nasoma Y’Ombembwa
Trappistine priory of Nasoma Y'Ombembwa at Soke, in the archdiocese of Huambo, Angola, begun in 1978 by Angolan sisters and adopted by the Italian abbey of Valserena in 1982.
A severe storm on 20 October 2026 destroyed the whole roof of the building where the sisters receive groups (a hall for more than 100 people, kitchen, dining room and toilets). The roof must be replaced and the floor, damaged by falling roofing, repaired. The order has asked for donations on the sisters' behalf.
Before you act. No cost estimate is published, and the notice prints no bank details for the Commission of Solidarity; the only contact the order publishes is its generalate in Rome.

Termites were detected inside the polychrome wooden altarpiece of the convent church a few weeks before the appeal opened in late September 2026. The appeal pays for a bait-and-trap treatment planned over four years to eradicate the colony.
