Children in remote and difficult to reach areas in Timor-Leste need your help to flourish by accessing quality education.
Parents want their children to have the schooling opportunities they didn’t have, after growing up during the political violence of the occupation. Parents so committed join our parent training to help children learn at home.
Imagine the joy, for both child and parent, of being able to read a story together. And the fun of playing math games while walking to the market.
Today, there are still many more children with loving parents around the world in need of education to break the cycle of poverty.
“Never see a need without doing something about it.”- Australian Saint Mary MacKillop.
150 years ago, Mary and the Sisters of St Joseph travelled in full habit through the heat of the desert to some of Australia’s most remote communities. They were determined to set up schools so disadvantaged children could pursue an education.
Mary and her Sisters were with people every step of the way — from dire need to becoming a flourishing community.
At Mary MacKillop Today, 150 years after Mary MacKillop first formed the Sisters of St Joseph, we’re continuing her life-changing legacy – thanks to kindness of donors and sponsors. Just like Mary, you can help people to flourish through the power of literacy and education for life. Monthly gifts will help create opportunities for people to build a better life in the face of poverty.
