Sister Dulce Memorial

The Charitable Works Foundation of Sister Dulce, known by its Portuguese acronym as OSID, is a private non-profit philanthropic organization, established on May 26, 1959 by Brazilian Catholic nun Sister Dulce.

It consists of 14 nuclei, 13 of them at the Roma Hospital Complex, a 1,000-bed teaching hospital, in Salvador, Bahia. OSID also operates CESA, a school that provides free education and social services for 800 children who live in extreme poverty, in Simões Filho, one of the most impoverished cities in the metropolitan region of Salvador.

OSID provides health, welfare, and education services, with a strong commitment to medical education and research and a mission to "love and serve the poorest ones, offering them free health care and education".
