PROJECT COMPASSION – WEEK 5

BANGLADESH – Halima is raising her two children in a refugee camp in Bangladesh while caring for her mother, who has a disability. Widowed at 21, Halima fled violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine State and arrived at the camp with nothing.   Caritas Australia, through Caritas Bangladesh, helped Halima out with shelter, cooking equipment, hygiene and sanitation training. Halima now earns a small income as a trainer, helping to maintain the health and cleanliness of her community. Halima aspired to ‘Be More’.

Please donate to Project Compassion 2021 so this transformational program can continue to empower vulnerable women, men and children, and strengthen the communities around them.

Donations to Project Compassion 2021 supports Caritas Australia’s community development and emergency relief programs in partnership with marginalised communities around the world.

You can donate through our Parish offertory boxes, Project Compassion envelopes (found at the back of the church), by visiting www.caritas.org.au/projectcompassion
