Churches Together in Rome Rice Bowl Project 2025

This year, the Lenten Rice Bowl Project is supporting Loreto Rumbek’s educational mission, which is raising funds to build a school for girls and boys in Aweil, South Sudan. Loreto Rumbek is made up of a Primary School, a Secondary School, a Primary Health Care Centre and an Education Centre. The school first opened in 2008 and provides a much-needed place of education for girls aged 5-20. In Aweil, South Sudan, in 2025, they have started their first class – 30 girls and boys. The goal is to expand the program, the number of children served, and the buildings needed so that by 2033 these children will be the first graduation class. Loreto Rumbek School, is one of many Loreto schools and colleges worldwide to have been founded by the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM).
