Community Centers
Thanks to generous donors, we have been able to break ground for centers in two villages: Karad and Chikalda. Our goal is to build 10 additional facilities throughout the tribal area.
The tribal people speak of their gratitude for the community center, and testify to the beauty of strong indigenous cultural identification combined with a strong Christian faith.

Care for students
In Dudhani, 272 children are schooled and housed in a sparse hostel. Away from their parents, they study 7 days a week with limited furniture, and no facility to eat or bathe. Our goal is to provide sanitary and operational dining and bathroom facilities for the children.
The priest and school principal below speaks of his own foundation as a child in the school in Dudhani.

Missionary sponsorship
Daman: Just $20 per month can sponsor a missionary to tend to the spiritual needs of tribal villagers. Missionaries will be trained by priests in the archdiocese, and will eventually be assigned to work at one of the 12 community centers. All 72 villages will have missionary representation. Our current goal is to fund three missionaries, to work in the first few community centers.
Goa: Just $50 per year can sponsor local laity from the parishes in Goa to enter a 2 year formation program in order to be able to spread the faith to their home parishes.
Priests of the Pastoral Institue in Goa. below, train catechists to become catechists in Goa and missionaries for the tribals in Daman.
