ACCORDING TO ST. BENEDICT, a Benedictine monastery should contain everything the brothers need. St. Benedict did not want his monks to wander around looking for their life’s necessities. This explains why Benedictine monasteries worldwide tend to be huge setups with all sorts of production activities going on inside. Ndanda is not behind when it comes to this. Clothes–be they religious habits or civilian–which monks need are made in our tailor shop. Apart from making all sorts of clothes, the tailor shop enables a good number of young people–girls in particular–to train as future able tailors.
