For a new Missionary
Beneficiaries: 85 young seminarians. Beneficiaries already reached: 100 young people. Project value: € 2,400 per missionary student per year. The project aims to support young seminarians who wish to begin a journey of faith in their own land—our mission land—but who lack the financial resources to sustain their studies. Supporting a future Josephite missionary means creating an opportunity for self-sufficiency in mission territories, moving towards an approach that is increasingly less based on assistance. The project provides support for a seminarian during his formation to become a Josephite missionary at the service of the poorest. Reference missionary in India: Fr.

The centre provides concrete assistance to families by contributing to food, medical and school-related expenses, while accompanying children and adolescents in educational and personal development programmes aimed at autonomy and self-reliance.

Scholarship for Studies
Colombia has been living in civil war for more than 50 years. Although the conflict officially ended with the peace treaty in 2016, violence continues in many areas of the country, increasingly connected to drug trafficking. Parallel to the expansion of the conflict and the political violence, Colombian cities are severely hit by a new wave of criminal acts and selective murders against members of the weakest and most marginalized sections of society (poor people, street children, small drug dealers, drug addicts, prostitutes and homosexuals). with the term “limpieza social” (social cleansing), it is one of the major consequences of the serious social conflict and of the discriminating and excluding policies of the economic and political classes. General objective of the project Accompany and support young university students from the La Sierra and Villa Turbay neighborhoods, educating them to be committed to their neighborhood. Specific objectives of the project Support young university students in the La Sierra and Villa Turbay districts, offering them a supplementary scholarship, which allows them to support the costs of transport, food and teaching materials. Accompany young people in their studies, constantly monitoring their performance and supporting them in learning. Educating young university students to serve the community, suggesting volunteering as a return for the scholarship received.

For a new Missionary
Beneficiaries: 85 young seminarians. Beneficiaries already reached: 100 young people. Project value: € 2,400 per missionary student per year. The project aims to support young seminarians who wish to begin a journey of faith in their own land—our mission land—but who lack the financial resources to sustain their studies. Supporting a future Josephite missionary means creating an opportunity for self-sufficiency in mission territories, moving towards an approach that is increasingly less based on assistance. The project provides support for a seminarian during his formation to become a Josephite missionary at the service of the poorest. Reference missionary in India: Fr.

Scholarship for Studies
Colombia has been living in civil war for more than 50 years. Although the conflict officially ended with the peace treaty in 2016, violence continues in many areas of the country, increasingly connected to drug trafficking. Parallel to the expansion of the conflict and the political violence, Colombian cities are severely hit by a new wave of criminal acts and selective murders against members of the weakest and most marginalized sections of society (poor people, street children, small drug dealers, drug addicts, prostitutes and homosexuals). with the term “limpieza social” (social cleansing), it is one of the major consequences of the serious social conflict and of the discriminating and excluding policies of the economic and political classes. General objective of the project Accompany and support young university students from the La Sierra and Villa Turbay neighborhoods, educating them to be committed to their neighborhood. Specific objectives of the project Support young university students in the La Sierra and Villa Turbay districts, offering them a supplementary scholarship, which allows them to support the costs of transport, food and teaching materials. Accompany young people in their studies, constantly monitoring their performance and supporting them in learning. Educating young university students to serve the community, suggesting volunteering as a return for the scholarship received.

Distance Support - Ecuador
Distance Support – Ubaldo Bonucelli Preventive Centre, Ecuador The Ubaldo Bonucelli Preventive Centre supports children and young people living in situations of extreme poverty, family hardship and school dropout. Many of them have never attended school and, in some cases, have never even been officially registered at birth, making them invisible and particularly exposed to abuse, exploitation and social exclusion. Through the Distance Support programme, the project protects fundamental rights to education, care, play and protection, offering personalised support paths based on regular monitoring of family, social and economic conditions. The centre provides concrete assistance to families by contributing to food, medical and school-related expenses, while accompanying children and adolescents in educational and personal development programmes aimed at autonomy and self-reliance. By offering guidance, training and long-term support, the project helps young people become active and positive protagonists of their own lives, enabling them to build a dignified future within their own country.
