Summary of the Situation
In 2008, anti-Christian violence reduced the Sankarakhol mission to ashes. By 2011 the Sisters began the slow process of rebuilding and today Sankarakhol boasts an “English Medium Convent School” where people across religions, castes, and cultures can receive a high-quality education.
False accusation of proselytization by missionaries has been used to keep the society divided for the economic, political, and social advantages of a few.
How will the funds be used?
Science Lab equipment, make a few structural modifications and purchase the necessary furniture to equip the Lab.
The Sister’s Response
The Sisters and their donors founded the St. Joseph English Medium School, which brought reconciliation among communities and re-established peaceful coexistence through cooperation, community building, and collaboration among the people. Today, Sankarakhol can boast of a school where people from all religions, castes, and cultures can avail high-quality education.
Systemic Impact
Many poor do not have the same opportunities as others in the area. This program gives kids the opportunity to get better support and a better education so they can be on the same level as their peers.
