Caritas
Holy Week
(Week beginning Monday 30 March)
As we mark Holy Week, we reflect on another year of turning our faith and love into action through Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion. Throughout Lent, we’ve witnessed the power that our school community can generate when we come together as one, and heard four incredible stories of resilience and strength which offer a window into the kind of transformative impact we can achieve.
In Tanzania, Sisilia’s life was changed with access to nearby clean water. She can now spend more time studying so she can fulfil her dreams of one day becoming a pilot.
Monoranjon, from Bangladesh, learnt climate-resilient farming techniques, helping his family survive and build a safer, more sustainable future.
In rural Fiji, Manaini learnt food processing and gardening skills through Caritas Australia’s partner, FRIEND, creating more income opportunities to support her children’s education.
And in Gaza, Caritas Jerusalem staff remain committed to providing lifesaving support, standing in solidarity with families enduring this conflict.
But the work isn’t done yet, and there is still time to donate! Will you help make this our school’s most meaningful Project Compassion yet?
It’s not too late to donate. Keep collecting donations through your Project Compassion collection box, scan the QR code to donate online, or donate over the phone by calling 1800 024 413. Thank you for standing with us as we Unite Against Poverty this Lent.
