As many families in Mindagulos are unable to afford nutritious meals, Christmas dinner is a luxury most can’t afford. Lina Bocalas, a mother of seven, shares, “We don’t prepare special food for Christmas because we don’t have money. The best meals we get are in the school.”

Your support is enabling a school provide children with one nutritious meal a day, five days a week.

“This program has changed my children’s lives. Before, they were underweight, but now they are healthier, and going to school every day with
excitement. The feeding program gives them food they don’t get at home, like milk. It inspires them, and they’ve also become more responsible by
learning about proper garbage disposal.” Lina

Because of you, children in Mindagulos are not only growing stronger but also building better futures. In just two months, there has been an average weight gain of 1.97 kg among the children, a clear sign of improved health.

Lina hopes that with your continued support, this program can grow and help even more children. “I want this to continue because, even in times of crisis, our children have food to eat,” she says.

Your support hasn’t stopped there – you’ve also helped fund a water program which gives a rural community access to clean water. Lina shares that now she doesn’t have to walk long distances to get water for her family. Lina gratefully shares,

“Now we can easily get the water we need for our daily needs. We’re so thankful for the Jesuit community and those who help us.”

Your generosity is making a profound difference. By continuing to give gifts like these, you are directly impacting the health and future of children in Mindagulos. Thank you for being a part of this transformation!
