Thank you Rise Technical team!

We wanted to say a big thank you for the donation of the stationery for our children. On a recent trip to Tanzania, I took the stationery out with me and divided it between Kisarawe Girlstown and Dodoma Boystown. Please see the videos and photos posted below as a token of our thanks.

This page is specific to you for your information and is not public. We hope that you will explore and consider supporting again to help us end poverty through education. There is still so much need and we would be so pleased to have your support in helping children from the most severe poverty receive quality education and care. Please contact me directly if you would like some more information.

Please feel free to browse our website when you reach the end!

Your opportunity to do more to help children escape poverty

Your support helps children from the poorest communities and families receive a quality education.

Will you consider supporting World Villages for Children again this year? See below some of the ways your team can get involved with World Villages.

From doing challenge events like marathons and running events, to fundraising in your office, and listing World Villages on Rise Technical’s payroll giving scheme, there are so many ways you can help ensure that more children receive the quality education and care that will help lift them out of poverty.

You can continue to make a difference for children born into the most extreme poverty imaginable.

But first, why not sign up to receive an update from us once a month to learn more about our work?

Get to know us a bit more

Who are we?

World Villages for Children supports the education programmes of the Sisters of Mary to run live-in schools for the most deprived boys and girls across the world. We provide equitable access to education for boys and girls and fund school places and all the daily care needed for nearly 20,000 of the world’s most deprived children each year. We work in the Philippines, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Brazil, and Tanzania.

We provide quality academic and vocational education to children who cannot otherwise afford or access quality education due to poverty, lack of adequate provision, distance, and many other barriers.

Who are these programmes for?

The Sisters welcome any child living in extreme poverty regardless of religion, gender or race. Under their care the most deprived boys and girls enjoy an accredited, value-led education that provides a sound framework for the development of capable, independent and empowered adults.

The Sisters are uniquely placed with over 60 years of experience and their strategic approach to care for children from the poorest communities in their programmes. Their skill and agile response to need makes them extremely qualified to provide the best possible education and care.

Making education sustainable

The programmes are modestly run and we work towards 9 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). The programmes deliver enormous economies of scale in the care of the children and significant long term, sustainable impact on poverty relief in the communities and countries where they operate. Graduates from the programmes go on to give back to their families and communities, in what we call the multiplier effect. Because of one child’s education, entire families and communities are transformed.
