Nowhere to Turn

Dear Friend in Christ,

The Needy Women and Children’s Apostolate of the Miles Jesu men’s community in Awka, Nigeria, started in 2017 to help poor women and children who are having difficulties and have nowhere else to turn. “Most of them live close by,” Joseph, MJ, tells us.

“I personally visit with them before we help them so I can learn about their needs ‘first-hand’ and assess the best way to provide assistance in their particular situation. At present, we are helping ten children continue their education who otherwise would not have been able to go to school because their families, who have great difficulty even covering daily living expenses, do not have the extra money for school expenses. For these children, our help goes directly to the cost of their education for tuition and books. Without this help, the children would have had to work to help support the family and it would have been very difficult for them to get out of poverty.”

“We also have been able to help several widows with expenses for food and medicine on an interim basis and, in several other cases, were able to help single mothers establish small businesses so they could become self-sufficient and provide for their families themselves.”

Please help our Miles Jesu Missions today so we can continue our work in Nigeria with the Needy Women and Children’s Apostolate. No donation is too small; your help truly makes all the difference! In Miles Jesu we pray for our benefactors daily with gratitude because the Miles Jesu Missions depend upon God’s help through people like you.
