The Good Samaritan Foundation is an initiative of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan.
Since 1857, the Sisters of the Good Samaritan have responded to the call of the needy, especially disadvantaged women and children, offering refuge, education and hope. Inspired by the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we ensure this work continues.
