Emmaus Partnership
We support education for the most deprived boys and girls. Children who are orphans or from the very poorest and disadvantaged families in the communities and neighbourhoods of the Philippines, Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil, Honduras and Tanzania.Young boys and girls who work long hours on the streets and in the slums of these regions to earn money, who risk disease, early marriage or a life of crime.These children lack the basic conditions for survival like adequate shelter, regular nutrition, healthcare, water for drinking and sanitation and who lack vital access to a good education without which they have no hope of a better future.
OUR WORK FOCUSSES ON ENDING POVERTY THROUGH EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS RUN BY THE SISTER OF MARY
These amazing women devote their entire lives to caring for and educating the poorest children – for them, it’s a vocation and a blessing. They are experienced educators and carers, highly skilled working in the most deprived countries and living on-site at schools providing 24/7 care. In turn, we focus on what we do best: raising funds and providing support for the Sisters’ work, raising awareness of the crisis of poverty, engaging with the generous donors who make our work possible and measuring and reporting impact.It’s a warm and profoundly collaborative partnership based on mutual trust and respect that has worked well since 1998 and together we deliver a truly excellent provision for the most deprived boys and girls in our care worldwide, at a fraction of the cost.
