News from our schools

May was a big month for the Sisters of Mary girls’ school in Kisarawe, Tanzania, as the first group of 107 girls graduated! These fantastic young women were the first to join Kisarawe Girlstown six years ago, back when it was still only one building with plans for more. They’ve watched their school grow around them, mentoring new students as the school filled up with nearly 1,000 girls. Now, with their high quality education and vocational skills, these graduates are all set to land great jobs, help their families, and really make a difference in their communities.

All of this shows how your support for World Villages for Children is helping children all over the world to realise their dreams.

In Honduras, Guatemala & Mexico the children were excited to see their families on Visiting Day in May! Spending time away from home can be very difficult but the children know that their hard work will be rewarded and the education they gain will benefit their family for years to come.

Every Visiting Day is a day of joy and celebration, with families able to see how their children are growing up in a place where they are free to learn away from the hardships of poverty. The children have the chance to show off their new skills, the work they are doing in class and everything they have learnt to their proud parents while sharing a picnic in the school grounds.
