Every year, the outreach programmes featured in our MSC World Projects Appeal span a multitude of different places and people and needs, as we do our best to respond to the changing times on our mission projects around the world. This year, our featured projects include Venezuela, Guatemala, Ecuador, Cameroon, and OLSH outreach in South Africa and South America, incorporating education, medical aid, pastoral care, and feeding the hungry, as our Sacred Heart family work to answer the many appeals for help from mission stations worldwide.
In recent years, our world has been shaken to its core, with war, violence, and poverty making life extremely precarious for the people caught in the crossfire. As a charity, we are battling the critical impact on our fundraising abilities at a time when people need us more than ever before. As we look ahead to 2025, we continue to work together on our shared mission to bring hope and help to these regions where they are so desperately needed. In the year ahead, our World Projects Appeal will support and empower disadvantaged families and communities around the world in more ways than we can mention. Your generosity will help to shape the lives of children in South Africa and young students in remote communities in Guatemala, of hungry families in Ecuador, of aspiring young MSCs in Cameroon, and of struggling communities in Venezuela, to name but a few. The contribution you make today is only the beginning of powerful and positive change that will continue for generations to come.
With each year that passes, we’re trying to do more with less, at a time when finances are tight for everyone and the people that need us, need us more than ever. With the current issues troubling our world, we are facing an uphill battle. Nonetheless, it is thanks to you, our great mission friends, that we can continue to do our best to help those in need. Because of you, many, many communities and families have hope where before there was none. Together, we can continue to make a difference.
Below, you will find some of the projects that currently need our immediate attention, and we would be very grateful if you would consider lending your support. You can choose to donate to a specific programme that may be close to your heart, or you can leave it to us to send your donation to the projects that need it most.
