Story

Hi everyone! I'm fundraising for a registered 501c3 called World Villages for Children. They are responsible for the opening more than a dozen schools in seven countries, not including the schools that I am fundraising for, which are opening in Tanzania. World Villages for Children's goal is to break the cycle of poverty by seeking out boys and girls that make up the poorest of the poor. They work to educate these children and equip them to go back to their families and teach them useful skills to make money or to go out and get jobs. Above all, the Sisters of Mary, who run these schools, strive to set an example of the love of Jesus Christ and help to heal the wounds inflicted by the extreme poverty experienced by these kids. I experienced this firsthand when I visited Girlstown in Chalco, their school in Mexico. The gratitude and joy that the girls have at the opportunity to grow and learn is inspiring. I would greatly appreciate and contribution, whether it be prayer or a financial donation of any size. God Bless!
