The primary aim of St. Clare’s Convent is to carry out apostolic work among the Wa people. The leadership includes Sr. Maureen Lewis the Superior, Sr. Cecilia Zen and Sr. Ananthi. The Sisters are engaged in various ministries such as teaching catechism, nursery work, visiting families and the sick, church-related activities, and pastoral work in nearby villages.
