Diocese of Geita & Mama Maji’s Mission

The Diocese of Geita operates a vital healthcare network serving approximately two million people. This system includes a district-level hospital (currently transitioning to a regional referral facility), two health centers, and three dispensaries.

Our vision and mission emphasize an integrated approach to human development, recognizing the inseparability of spiritual and physical needs. Accordingly, the Diocese focuses on integral evangelization and sustainable development.
