Recovery Program
Pobres de Jesus Cristo is dedicated to serving the underprivileged through various ministries living a modest life alongside those in need and relying on God’s provision. Their focus is on providing assistance to impoverished elderly individuals who have been deserted by their families as well as malnourished children. With your contributions a center can be built that offers meals and care three times a week along with medicine for the elderly and nutritional aid and milk for children.
Mustard Seed Center
La Salette Missions is making a remarkable impact on the lives of children, women and families through its diverse programs. Its efforts in Bolivia are specifically focused on empowering single and unemployed women while also providing a secure and nurturing environment for children aged 1-6 through the Mustard Seed project. This project offers nutritious meals, Montessori-based education and year-round care for children. La Salette Missions is unwavering in its commitment to supporting families in underserved communities, where poverty and violence are a daily reality.

The Missionary Daughters of St. Rita strive to make a positive impact on the world by assisting children, empowering women, and promoting education. Your generous contributions help us to provide meals for the children, purchase knitting machines and construct classrooms. These devoted women of faith remain steadfast in their commitment to serving the needs of God’s people.
