Welcome,

Thank you for considering to support this cause.

Hot Meals International is an organization made up of common citizens dedicated to caring for the world's children. Though we personally are not taking this mission to the front lines, we recognize that the people who have need financial support to be successful.

Please take a moment to read on about the Religious Teachers Filippini. This is currently where 100% of your donation will be directed to.

The Religious Teachers Filippini have been helping the poorest children and women survive for more than 300 years. In the past their schools and initiatives for orphans and widows were mainly due to the consequences of war. Now the times are changing and they are adapting by providing these same survival and life skills to the Children Heads of Households (CHH).

Many of their graduates have gone on to set up their own restaurants or sewing shops and others have gone on to be successful in business and technology, or as teachers and nurses.

It is very touching to see the former graduates return with their own families to thank the Sisters for all they have done for them. One very memorable event was when one of their former students returned with 500 eggs for the Sisters to use with the children. He recounted how he and his brother were starving when the Sisters took them in and not only fed them but loved, educated and provided for their every need.

How Your Donations Make a Difference

The Religious Teachers Filippini will make sure that 100% of your gift helps the CHH.

The CHH works where the oldest member is over 12 is provided a small home, and enters a program where they learn a trade so they can earn some money right away for their little family, while also studying for their elementary education diploma. They learn sewing, knitting, embroidering, gardening, poultry raising. And are taught basic business skills to help their micro-enterprise be successful. The Religious Teachers will soon be opening a similar initiative for these children in Addis Abbab, Ethiopia.

We haven't all been called to this noble vocation that the Religious Teachers Fillipini have. However, today we have an opportunity to contribute in a positive way to our planet by simply supporting these great and noble people.

I ask for your support.

Thank you.

Eric
