XAVERIAN BROTHERS
Our students in Kipushi, Congo need desks. Can we count on your support?
Our elementary and secondary students attending Institute Rijken 1 desperately need desks and other assorted furniture to enrich their learning experience.
Our Novice Brothers missioned in Congo have dug in and begun the hands on work of building the 270 assorted desks and tables needed for the classrooms. They’ve made tremendous progress but at a cost of $110 per desk/table, funds are running out before they can complete the project.
What a blessing it would be to have the support of friends like you as we strive to meet our goal on Giving Tuesday!
