The Nun Transforming Rural Education

Sister Dorothy Amalia Laudi has spent the last 19 years building a brighter future for some of Sabah’s underserved children. Known for her compassionate work as a Franciscan nun, she runs 12 kindergartens in Tambunan and Paitan in rural Sabah, giving children the tools to succeed despite incredible odds. From raising funds for school supplies to ensuring teachers are trained, Sister Dorothy exemplifies the spirit of service and compassion, and her efforts have earned her national recognition. But for Sister Dorothy, the real reward is seeing young lives transformed and families uplifted. Today, we hear her story - a tale of faith, resilience, and love in action.
