CAFOD Virtual Village

Our CAFOD virtual village

The Justice & Peace Group would like to welcome you to the Ss Peter and Paul Virtual Village

You will see that the village is off to a good start. Last year we raised funds for the following:  

The idea is to support CAFOD in their bid to help make a real difference to the life of some of the worlds poorest people.

Water

This potentially life-saving gift of clean, safe water reduces the risk that a family may fall ill or die because of contaminated water. Their health could improve considerably as they soak up the benefits of having fresh water for drinking, cooking and washing.

Chickens

By providing chickens, materials and training in poultry management, families can produce eggs to eat, sell or use to raise other chickens. The humble chicken can boost a family's income as well as provide an on-going source of nutrition for families fighting poverty.

School Starter Pack

Pens, books, a uniform, school fees and even daily meals — this gift provides a child in the developing world with the essentials every budding scholar needs to shine and to help them escape from poverty. 

Education really is a gift for life so this gift goes to the top of the class for making a big difference for such a little cost.

Goat

A goat can provide up to 12 pints of milk a week? And that can make a big difference to a family in a poor community whether they drink it or sell it for an important, additional source of income. Goats also provide a free source of fertiliser to help crops grow! This gift includes feed and veterinary care so that the goat stays healthy and produces lots of milk!
