Education, Empowerment, Faith
Education, Clean Water and Family/Commercial Farming was at the center of our initiatives and fundraising efforts. The strength of the relationship between St. Brendan and Our Lady of Fatima allowed us to complete several projects, like:
Clean Water via the Klorfasil program and local well drilling.
Building of a large (hurricane proof) Social Center that can host educational and artistic activities, all year-round, including the popular “Fatima-Aktiva” activities in the Summer months.
Building of a 10 classroom Catholic school (with adjacent latrines) supporting K to 9 education. Created teaching jobs for 1 principal, 16 teachers in order to support the education of 285 students.
Created a local Farming project whereby 125 local families received training, farming tools and seeds to start their own farming business.
