Churches Together in Rome
Rice Bowl Project 2026

This year, the Lenten Rice Bowl Project is supporting the Nourishing MInds, a non profit organization in Switzerland working in the Ekwendeni Area of Northern Malawi. Many children in Malawi walk 2 to 3 hours
to school. They often arrive at school with empty tummies and return home still having had nothing to eat due to family poverty. This results in a lack of energy and difficulty concentrating and learning throughout the school day. The goal at Nourishing Minds is to provide all primary school children in the area with a cup of porridge each school day with the additional concept of empowering the unemployed youth within this community-based project

Envelopes for donations will be available at our Sunday Masses at Caravita and can be dropped directly into the collection basket. Thanks for your generosity!
