How Your Gifts are Spent

$2 - Provides medical care for a Bolivian child for a year.
Bro. Edgar Francken, O.M.I., is a medical doctor in Oruro, Bolivia, the poorest region of the poorest country in South America.  Bro. Edgar’s clinic is the only place for the poor to turn for medical care.  Children can receive a full year of visits to the clinic for just $2.

$10 - Pays a year of tuition for a child in Haiti.
The Oblates run several schools in Haiti where they charge just $10 a year for elementary students.  Still, most families can not afford to send their children to these schools because their annual family income is just $250.

$25 - Provides a meal every day for a year to a street child in Cameroon.
On a sidewalk in the city of Yaunde, Damien, age 10, lies in a cardboard box.  During the day, Damien wanders the city with the box on his head.  He hangs around a market asking people if he can carry their purchases for a few pennies.  The Oblates provide Damien with a daily meal.

$50 - Builds a home in Zambia.
The Oblates are building 100 houses in the city of Limulunga for the poor.  These simple shelters cost just $50 to build.  The breakdown for the housing is the following: $24 for four packets of cement, $6 for poles, $6 for grass, $6 for mud, and $8 for labor.
