December Appeal
The Christmas season is quickly approaching and people have already begun making plans for the holidays. But while these things are nice, Christmas is about much more than giving gifts or having parties. Centuries before the birth of Jesus, the prophet Isaiah foretold that God would send a child who would change the world. He told of a Messiah who would heal those who are sick and raise the dead back to life -- a savior who would show us the depth of love so that we, too, would know how to love more deeply. And if we loved more deepl)2. there would be no more hunger. no more thirst. All will share what they have with those who have nothing. Imagine that!

October Appeal
"It is the greatest poverty to decide that a child must die," Blessed Teresa said, "so that you may live as you wish." the need for medical care -- especially among children -- is overwhelming across much of the African continent. In rural Kenya, more than 12 percent of the babies born today will die before their first birthday. Nearly 23 percent of the children who are born today will not live to the age of five. The saddest part is that the lives of thousands of children could be saved with proper medical care and treatment. The local community has contributed as much money as they possibly can to make adequate healthcare centers possible in the region, but a lot of equipment is still needed to create suitable and operational centers, including medical equipment for infant deliveries, delivery beds, hospital beds, mattresses, pillows, sheets, blankets, equipment sterilizers, heaters, incubators, and more.

A few days ago, I received a letter from Fr. Bill Moroney -- one of our Missionary of Africa priests now working in Nairobi, Kenya, in East Africa. . . Read More>>

MOA helps drill water wells in Tanzania
Water can be gathered, or as some would say ‘harvested’, from below by digging or drilling boreholes to pump it up. It can also be harvested from above in those places where the groundwater would be too deep or maybe hardly existing.
Mbeya, in the East African country Tanzania is one of the many places where one often collects it from above, by harvesting the rains of the rainy seasons. Read More>>
