Thanks to your generosity, our fundraiser for the Sisters of St. John in Guinea went wonderfully and helped build a significant part of their primary school, as we highlighted in previous newsletters. Now, we’re excited to announce our next mission to support another community in need.
St John Scholarship Programme in Cebu, Philippines
Following last year’s fundraiser, we have decided to support the Brothers of St. John in Cebu, Philippines. The Brothers have noticed that many families in their neighbourhood struggle to afford schooling for their children. In response to this need and inspired by the Gospel, they created a programme to sponsor children’s education.
Currently, the Brothers are supporting 31 children, primarily in secondary and tertiary education. Beyond education, they meet with the group every weekend for catechesis or life skills training in areas such as self-confidence, leadership, and event organisation. Throughout the year, they also organise outings and major formation sessions. Their goal is to nurture these young people in every aspect of their lives, helping them to grow into responsible, God-centred adults who can support their families financially and spiritually. After 25 years of this mission, the programme has produced graduates who have become teachers, bankers, policemen, and more.
