Our amazing supporter Enrique will soon be swimming the Gibraltar Strait, raising vital funds for the more than 20,000 children cared for by the Sisters of Mary.

He is now in Tarifa, South of Spain, training, preparing and awaiting the right sea conditions to start this gruelling 22 km swim from Spain to Morocco.

We are so grateful to Enrique for his bravery and his compassion towards our children. He will receive virtual encouragement from our children in Chalco and Guadalajara, Mexico, who will swim the same distance at the school, in relay in support of his remarkable endeavour.

Can you help Enrique in this remarkable challenge?

Happy !

Today, we celebrate the incredible dedication of the Sisters of Mary and the inspiring teachers at our schools around the world. Education is the most powerful tool we have to break the cycle of poverty.

Because of their tireless work and compassion, and the generosity of our supporters, thousands of the world’s most vulnerable children are able to build a solid educational foundation ready for a better, independent future.

A big thank you to our amazing supporter, Enrique, who is currently en route to Gibraltar where he will brave the Gibraltar strait swimming solo to Morocco!

He’s doing this on behalf of World Villages for Children and it’s not to late to support him and give more children the opportunity to receive a quality education.

It’s three years since the inauguration of the Dodoma Boys' school in Tanzania! Now home to 570 boys, building continues to make room for more. The boys are learning the skills they need to find good employment locally and they are well on their way to completing their secondary education so they can live well and thrive once they complete school.

None of this progress would be possible without the generosity of our wonderful supporters. On behalf of all of the children, thank you!

Today, we honour the legacy of Father Al, founder of the Sisters of Mary, on his birthday.

Driven by a relentless mission to break the cycle of poverty, his vision was simple yet powerful: give vulnerable children a safe home, a quality education, and unconditional love. Decades later, that spirit lives on through the Sisters of Mary, in every student’s success and every life transformed at their 13 schools in six countries around the world.

Happy Birthday, Father Al, thank you.

Visiting day is a special day at all of our schools. Recently the schools in The Philippines opened their doors to the families of all the students to show how far they’ve come at school.

It’s an emotional day of reunions and catching up, but the families know how important it is for the children to get an education even if it means being apart for a while.

The ability to read and write is foundational for education and fundamental for communication, learning, navigating life and fulfilling potential.

Poor literacy holds children back. At our schools, as soon as our children join us we help them to address the gaps in their literacy, which is often low due to no schooling or poor quality primary education. With extra classes at our schools, tutoring and the books they need to practise their reading and writing we can empower our children to excel in their education and their future life.

A new school term brings new opportunities, but for children in vulnerable communities, returning to class requires more than just arriving at the school gates. It takes pens to write with, books to study, and uniforms.

As UK schools reopen, we’re working to ensure every child in our programmes has the supplies they need to succeed in the classroom. Quality education is the most powerful tool to break free from poverty and it starts with the basics.
