The social center has its works stopped due to lack of support. The Congregation Sisters of Reparation of Our Lady of Fátima present in Memo, Maliana, Timor-Leste, has been doing a great job with the population, but they need help to continue!

The "Congregation of the Reparating Sisters of Our Lady of Fátima" has had a mission in the village of Memo, Maliana (Timor-Leste) since 2011, with two important projects for the community: a health clinic , which is working with the work of the team of local health and the collaboration of volunteers from other countries, and a social center .

The Social Center Padre Manuel Nunes Formigão, supports 300 children from 4 to 15 years old, from preschool to 9th grade, who attend the center in extracurricular activities and are offered a meal. This socio-educational project has been supported since 2015 by the Ministry of Social Solidarity and Inclusion of East Timor. The activities are carried out in very limited, small and insufficient provisional spaces.

The construction of the Centro Social Padre Manuel Nunes Formigão is very important for the mission. This construction of a new, larger space began in 2021 with funding acquired from international organizations the Papal Foundation and Peace Maker, but is currently stalled due to lack of funding needed to continue. So that the activities for the children of Memo can continue to take place, it is necessary to finish what has already been started. This request is specifically for the doors and windows of the new social centre.

Therefore, we appreciate all the help that is possible to restart the works of the social center!

About the author

We are Ana Rita Caldeano and Marta Bernardo, we are family doctors and we spent one month in 2022 volunteering in the health clinic of this institution. It is obvious for us the impact that this institution has on the local community, improving the health access and the resources available for the social and educational area.
We could also testify that the social center has an inadequate space for the amount of young people who attend the activities there. We truly believe the new social center will be an important asset to the community of Memo and that is why we support this cause.
Every contribution counts!

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

    Agradecimento

    Caros doadores,

    Agradecemos muito o vosso precioso contributo. Não chegámos ao nosso objetivo, mas todos juntos conseguimos juntar 1546€ que foram enviados para a organização para ajudar a comprar as portas para a finalização das obras do centro social.
    Até ao fim deste mês enviaremos as recompensas, pelo que pedimos a quem tem direito que nos envie mensagem com as moradas.

    Muito obrigada pela vossa ajuda!
    A população de Memo agradece <3
