HELP FOR MY SCHOOL
BADORE – NIGERIA
THE PROJECT
BEDIS is an inclusive school – nursery and primary – founded in September 2017 by a catholic lay couple and entrusted to the Dominican Sisters of Saint Catherine of Siena in 2022
The school offers a unique educational opportunity for both typically developing children and those with special needs, in particular children with developmental problems and learning delays (autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, paralysis, dyslexia). The school environment encourages social inclusion and integration among all children.
THE OBJECTIVES
When the Dominican Sisters of Saint Catherine of Siena took over the school they faced numerous challenges, including the need to renovate the building to make it safe for children and the staff.
The facility currently lacks potable water, adequate sanitation, safety measures, and proper lighting.
The sisters also hope to continue welcoming children who already attend the school free of charge, providing them with the love and care they need.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Your donations will help renovate the building and install solar panels to ensure safety and a favorable learning environment.

SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO – ARGENTINA
CARING FOR LIFE
SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO
ARGENTINA
THE PROJECT
In the 8 de Abril and La Católica neighborhoods in Santiago del Estero (Argentina) drug use and trafficking is a serious problem.
This has a significant impact on community life, affecting children as young as eight and young people who both use and sell drugs. Extreme poverty, absent parents due to work, and single-parent households exacerbate the situation.
THE OBJECTIVES
Our initiatives aim to support:
– the activities of the community center “Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe” for children aged 6 to 13;
– the weaving workshop for women in the 8 de Abril neighborhood;
– workshops for parents;
– guidance and accompaniment for parents, women and children.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Your donations will help strengthen family bonds and foster a sense of community belonging.
