Today, her schools face a dual crisis and she needs your help. In her area, food insecurity has reached a breaking point, due to skyrocketing inflation and regional insecurity, leaving students and staff facing hunger.

At the same time, a new educational barrier has emerged: the transition to mandated computer-based testing. Left without access to government funding to purchase computers and equipment, Sr. Mary Amanda's students are unable to compete on equal footing with their urban peers.

To combat these injustices, Sr. Mary Amanda needs you. Click on the links below to donate to her campaigns, which will ensure 8,000 students are well fed and well-equipped for school exams in digital literacy.

Digital Empowerment This campaign will fund the establishment of computer labs across 15 secondary schools. By providing 160 refurbished laptops, the program creates a critical first step for high schoolers to master the technology required for their exams and the 21st-century workforce.

Sustainable Nutrition Moving beyond short-term food aid, the Sisters are embedding agroecology and permaculture into the curriculum. By clearing fertile school land, building fish ponds, and hiring specialized instructors, the schools will produce their own protein and grains.

Join Sr. Mary Amanda in turning crisis into breakthrough. Together, we can provide the tools and the sustenance her students need to thrive.
