CARITAS Program in Nigeria
Help Support Catholic Schools
Nigeria is split between top and bottom by a religious divide of Christians and Muslims. Its people have suffered from kidnapping and slaughter at the hands of the terrorist group Boko Haram, and were affected by the recent Ebola epidemic. Now they are currently facing another terrorist group called SARS.
Education is simply too much for Nigeria’s poor people to afford and girls in Nigeria are particularly in need of education. In the Northern portion of the country, literacy rates for women are often well below 50%.
CARITAS For Children supports a partnership between the Diocese of Nsukka, Nigeria and the Chicago Catholic schools which began based on the friendship between Cardinal Francis George, O.M.I. and then Bishop Francis Okobo. These visionaries established a unique partnership of promoting Catholic education in September 2006 in an effort to establish a unified Catholic education school system for the Nsukka Diocese.
This project involves the construction of new schools, pre-school through high school, as well as a teacher training college, with the aim of fostering and maintaining Catholic education for the children of Nsukka.
CARITAS For Children has child sponsoring programs in this diocese providing support to the families who cannot pay for school fees or supplies on their own. Please help CARITAS to continue offering our Day Nursery School Programs and Day Primary School programs.
Thank you for considering to support our ministry in Nigeria.
