The Sisters of the Good Samaritan in NerjaThe sisters of this religious order have been working hard to raise 2 million euros to build a residential home for 65 elderly people in need. Once the home is running they will continue to need funds to support their work.While they are doing this and during the building of the home, the sisters are continuing to serve |

those who are sick and those who live alone.Some of these simply need someone to sit and talk with them, but others require a complete package of care and the sisters might go to their homes up to three times a day to get them out of bed in the morning, feed and wash them, and help them back to bed at night.
The sisters who form the community in Nerja look after on average 12 sick people each day. |
Caritas in Almuņecar
Caritas in Spain works on social justice issues, supporting those with health problems and those who are unemployed. In Almuņecar, Caritas runs two distribution centres for poor families where food and other necessary items for babies and children are given to those in need.
We also support a number of other charities including:
Transforming Lives of Children
 |
This charity was started by two former members of our congregation in
Almuņecar, Ashley and Chris Coggins.
Their work supports Street Children and Shelters in Danang City, Vietnam, and provides the children with opportunities to get away from the fumes and pollution of the city. |
They run a food support programme for needy children and provide basic items such as clothes, especially underwear and shoes, toiletries and things to support schooling.
|
Health is a key issue. TLC runs a clinic supporting 150 children living in the street homes, and some 450 poor children in the surrounding area. Funding for life-saving operations has also been given in the past.
TLC provides funding for a range of vocational training courses to enable many disadvantaged children to find work in their chosen trades. |
