Residents of Korogwe, a strategic town located along the Dar es salaam – Arusha highway are familiar with the vehicles written “Sisters convent Kwamndolwa”. Many bypassers have been wondering what is Kwamdolwa. Well the story started in the 1970s when the Sisters’ numbers were increasing rapidly and the Rangwi convent couldn’t hold more and so there was need to look for a new spacious piece of land. The then superior General who happened to be the First Native head of the congregation switched on her landrover and drove to the District commissioners office to ask for land. The commissioner directed her to a sisal farm in the kwamndolwa village which was owned by a white settler and that was on sale. Luckily they bought the land which had a house that would serve as their starting point. They began clearing the bush to pave way for building and the house they found on the land became multi-purpose serving as sleeping area, dinning hall, Chapel and sitting Room. It took a lot of efforts and dedication to build a place that would later become the mother house and the Headquarters of the congregation of the sisters of our lady of Usambara. Today kwamndolwa is punctuated by magnificent buildings, A big church, conference halls and sisters’ hostels; above all a food crop’s farm that feeds the entire congregation and sometimes the less privileged village neighbours!
