Your gift becomes something real

We are a charity, not a business. Most of our families cannot pay, so the centre runs on the generosity of people of good will.

What it costs to run the centre

Our recurring expenses, honestly.

These are the costs we face every single month to keep around fifty children learning, moving and fed.

Transport

Fuel

Our buses cover long rural routes every day to pick up and return every child.

How we are funded today

Carried by people of good will.

Today the centre stands thanks to the Sons of Divine Providence, local well-wishers and benefactors, fundraising initiatives like the Don Orione Charity Ride, the small contributions of families who can afford them, and international friends of the Don Orione family.

Where your gift goes

Straight to the children

Recent gifts have brought new specialised wheelchairs, therapy equipment and daily meals. Every shilling given goes back into the children's health, learning and dignity, and we are glad to be accountable for it.
