$25,000 Goal
Summary of the Situation
We are currently facing a critical need for a vehicle to facilitate transportation and delivery of services to the poor in our community. This need has arisen due to the challenging economic conditions in Nigeria, which have increased the urgency of reaching and serving more impoverished communities. Previously, we’ve had to hire vehicles for transportation, especially to take the sick and elderly to the hospital for medical attention. However we are incurring additional expenses due to the frequent hiring of vehicles. Sometimes, we are unable to provide outreach services because there are no vehicles available for us to rent. With a new vehicle, we can provide reliable transportation, and effectively reach and serve the underprivileged, ensuring timely delivery of essential supplies such as food, clothing, seedlings, farm implements, medical and cleaning supplies. Our program is dedicated to providing support for individuals and families in need, including the sick, women, children, and vulnerable adults. Additionally, we prioritize education to empower communities for a brighter future.
How will the funds be used?
Funds will be used to procure a vehicle suitable for navigating the difficult roads to remote areas in our community.
The Sisters’ Response
The sisters who lead this program in Nigeria, show unwavering commitment to advocating for the poor and victims of injustice by reaching out to them with aid, no matter how remote their locations. They support both the material and spiritual needs of those they serve. Their efforts play a vital role in promoting a more just and equitable society in these communities.
Systemic Impact
A new vehicle will enable many families to receive essential support like food, clothing, and school supplies and medical transport. It will also economically empower the community by delivering farm tools and seedlings that will help families begin or sustain agriculture. It will also provide cleaning supplies to those in need, ensuring a clean and healthy environment in underserved areas.
