Malawi is an agricultural, landlocked country, scarred by decades of underdevelopment, corruption, and the impact of an HIV Aids problem. It is one of the world’s worst hit countries by this epidemic and home to more than one million children orphaned by the disease.
In Malawi, many women are also delivering their babies at home causing complications, especially when a child is premature. Too many die unnecessarily at birth. At the current facility to help these women, the Sisters face multiple problems. There is no place for women to wait before childbirth. Those the Sisters can house are subject to sleeping on the floor which is cold, damp and smoky. Clearly a new facility is needed immediately.
Fortunately, the groundwork has been done, but we still need your help to complete it.

Help Give the Citizens of Nigeria Clean Water to Drink
Here in the United States and other western nations, we see people wasting water every day. Sometimes we just don’t realize how precious water is . . . and although there might
be a lot of it, whatever amount we
have is limited.
Our missionaries in Africa, though, and the people they serve, know the value of water all too well. Nearly every day, they see firsthand the struggle of living with too little water. They see people dehydrated, without enough to drink. They see
gardens and small farms turn to dust. They know what it is like to want for water.
“Water is scarce here,” Fr. Albert (a missionary living and working in Nigeria) writes. “The scarcity here is so serious that things have gotten to a critical stage.”

Support the Students of Bruh Tesfa
Africa is a land of incredible beauty with numerous, natural treasures — most important of all is its diverse population. Although the people have been torn apart by countless tragedies, they are resilient. They seek peace and hold onto hope. That’s why Bruh Tesfa — Bright Hope — is so important to the youth in northern Ethiopia.
Father Paul Reilly, project manager for Bruh Tesfa writes: we believe that it is mainly through education that young people can be empowered to transform their lives and that of society. With these powerful words, the staff takes direction and action to help make life better for the next generation of citizens in Adigrat. For these youth the ability to go to school is key to accomplishing what their parents never could.
