Here are some examples of people who participated in events to raise funds for World Villages for Children.
In April 2025, our Philippine graduate, Malou, ran the London Marathon to support World Villages for Children.

It was incredibly special to have someone who has benefitted from the Sisters’ work and who is now thriving in life thanks to the education she received from the Sisters of Mary in the Philippines.
Thank you for giving back Malou!
