This Lent, we shared the powerful stories of three remarkable individuals who have overcome immense challenges. Thanks to the kindness of supporters like you, their lives – and the lives of those around them – have been transformed.
In Samoa, Toefuata’iga’s life was changed with access to clean water through Caritas Australia’s partnership with Caritas Samoa. Her school now has a water tank, improving health and allowing the school to focus on education.
Lam, from rural Vietnam, overcame the challenges of living with a disability by joining the I-SHINE program. He now runs a successful freelance graphic design business and inspires others to pursue their dreams.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Irene, found hope through Caritas Australia’s partnership with Caritas Kongolo. By learning sewing and farming skills, she now provides for her extended family and mentors other women in her community. Thanks to the support of your parish community, your generosity will create waves of change around the world. But the work isn’t done yet. There is still time to donate! Together, we can Unite Against Poverty and help transform lives this Lent.
