Our Projects

Projects in 2023

South Sudan

In South Sudan, we have made contact with another school in Isohe – St. Augustine secondary school. Through a new contact person (Father Ben Louis from Maryknoll), we supported 15 students with housing and education ($1500). We have also covered some of Father Ben’s travel expenses in getting the resources to the school ($500).

Cambodia

In Cambodia, the nuns have started a project to provide toilet facilities for children of

factory workers in Lindalva Center, Pochentong. We will support this with $2000.

Projects in 2021-2022

During this period, Corona made it challenging to provide support, in particular in South Sudan. Moreover, both the chairman and the founder of the foundation passed away during this period.

South Sudan

The school we supported in South Sudan was closed due to Corona and our contact person had left the region. Our assistance in this region stopped in 2021.

Cambodia

In Cambodia, the projects were restarted during 2021 and 6 families were supported with toilets, a water pump and means to produce their own food ($1,700).

No support was provided in 2022 due to personal circumstances.

Projects in 2019-2020

The outbreak of Corona and the subsequent lockdowns made it difficult for our contacts to reach the locations where the projects were running. Nevertheless, we managed to support the projects in Cambodia and South Sudan.

South Sudan

We continued our contribution to the education of five children from St.Kizito Boarding School/Primary School, St. Theresa Parish in Isohe ($2110 in both years).

Cambodia

In each year, 10 families have been given the means to produce food and 2 water pumps have been installed. The sisters who lead the project try to get the population to participate in the project by making their own contribution.

Projects in 2016, 2017 and 2018

In 2016 – 2018 we have supported the following projects:

1. Daughters of Charity, Takeo, Cambodia 2016 – 2018: Children and Youth Community Development Services: mother and children in community.

The Daughters of Charity’s Children and Youth Community Development Services have been supporting children and youth from poor families in the district of Dounkeo, Takeo. Given the poverty condition of these students and children, the services offer much needed educational enrichment activities to complement the local government education and provide support to the families to meet basic needs for children vulnerable to malnutrition.

We supported 50 mothers and 50 children with a total amount of $ 2150.

P2. Fathers of Maryknoll, Isohe Parish, Eastern Equatoria State, South Sudan 2016 – 2018
School Support for Ophan Children. 2016-2017.

The Parish of St. Theresa in the rural village of Isohe, Eastern Equatoria, South Sudan helps support St. Kizito Primary School with over 1700 children. St. Augustin Secondary School has three hundred students. Several local Sisters of the Sacred Heart administer the school with the support of a large staff.

Many children attending St. Kizito Primary School are orphans. It is up to the Sacred Heart Sisters and Fr. Ben to find sponsors for those children to stay in school.

The cost of tuition, fees, accommodations, etc. to keep one of these orphan children in St. Kizito Primary School is estimated at 6,100 ssp or 420 USD per child per year.

At present we will support 5 students. $420 each, total $ 2100.r

3. Beatrice Lisamula, Kakamega, Kenia 2016 – 2017
