 Divine Mercy Girls Seminary (DMGS) 
Tanzania, Africa

   A Catholic Secondary Boarding School for Girls F
ounded in 2014 

There is an urgent need to educate and empower girls in Tanzania, which is primarily an agricultural society. Most girls from rural areas are not educated beyond elementary school.  This is due to secondary schools being located only in cities and lacking safe boarding. DMGS provides a Catholic secondary school education including safe boarding for girls. DMGS students are free to discern either a religious vocation as a nun or a non-religious vocation. Empowering girls through education and spiritual formation helps break the cycle of poverty. To read more click below:

New Dorm Construction Update

The original dorm at DMGS had deteriorated beyond repair. In March of 2023, the old dorm was torn down and construction of the new dorm began. The new dorm will accommodate 600 students.  To date, the dormitory building is erected and the roof work is completed. Phase Two for this project will be interior work including electrical, plumbing, fixtures, windows, doors, wall paint, and flooring. Additional funding of approximately $400,000 is needed to complete the dormitory. Please consider a donation toward construction of this much needed dorm.  For more information please click below:

St. Therese of the Little Flower Orphanage (STLFO)
​Burundi, Africa

2024
The Burundi genocide left children orphaned, starved, homeless and emotionally scarred. In response, the Sisters of St. Therese of the Child Jesus founded St. Therese of the Little Flower Orphanage in 1996. The Sisters created a loving family environment that allowed the children to adopt a spirit of forgiveness for the pain caused by genocide.

Since 2006, the Orphanage Sponsorship Program has been serving 55 children from early childhood through young adult. The majority of the 55 students are now living self-sufficiently. Those remaining in the sponsorship program (as shown in photo above) currently attend college, except for one with special needs.

​The Retired St. Therese Sisters Sponsorship Program was established in 2023 to help cover living expenses for our elderly Sisters. The Sisters have sacrificed their lives to uplift the lives of others. We want our retired Sisters to receive the care and support needed to live out the remainder of their lives with dignity. Please consider sponsoring a retired St. Therese Sister. For more information click below:
