Sisters of the Good Samaritan Foundation - Can You Help?

As the COVID-19 pandemic countinues to affect our lives, we wanted to update you on the impacts in Good Samaritan ministires. Our most urgent call for help has come from Bacolod City. Here, Sisters of the Good Samaritan operate a Kinder School, provide food for the children at the local orphanage and operate an Outreach Centre serving people living in squatter settlements along the coastal shoreline. 

COVID-19 has changed everything as local familes, many living in crowded conditions, deal with some of the toughest lock-down measures in the world. Employment has dried up and people are prevented from going out or travelling within the city.

 

The restrictions have been particularly hard on the poorest - those whose homes are on the streets or in the squatter settlements. With no savings to fall back on, many families are facing the very real risk of starvation.

In the face of this crisis, the Good Samaritan Sisters in Bacolod have shifted their focus to providing urgently need food relief.
