Latest Appeal  -  Recent bouts of violence in Eastern Congo are forcing thousands of Congolese refugees to seek asylum in Uganda.  The Xavier Project urgently needs funds to equip their new education and community centre to support some of the young Congolese refugees who have fled to Kampala, Uganda to escape the conflict in the Congo. Money is needed for basic educational and internet equipment, simple    facilities, rent for the centre, teachers and a caretaker.Most of the youngsters that this project serves come from refugee families that live in abject poverty in urban slum areas where they are exposed to unimaginable conditions. The centre offers them a way out. The Xavier Project proudly asserts that all funds donated will go        directly to the beneficiaries, as all administration costs have been covered by donations-in-kind. Therefore please give generously!

MISSION STATEMENT

 

The Catholic Charity SPICMA Registered Charity No. 270794 started life in 1967 in the Parish of St. Peter in Chains, Hornsey,  London – and then over the next forty five years it grew and grew…

SPICMA reaches out to the poorest and most marginalized in the developing world, it is open to the needs of small communities and individuals who neither fulfill the criteria nor have any way of approaching the larger agencies.

We support both appropriate relief aid and developmental projects.

We support and work through the various Missionary Congregations and Diocesan Clergy as we can then be certain that the relief gets to the people it is intended for.

SPICMA is open to assisting in projects which build up the capacity of the Local Church as it realises the importance of having an effective partner on the ground.

SPICMA requests the minimum of application details from those seeking to enter into partnership with it.  It also only requires a feedback which is deemed to be appropriate to the partners on the ground.

We keep our own administration costs to the minimum, and SPICMA is run by volunteers.

SPICMA funds its projects through donations and legacies made by individuals and groups

SPICMA provides its help to people regardless of their religious beliefs or ethnicity
