About
In the spirit of the Lenten season, Christian Brothers Academy is collecting for our Lasallian twin school, the Nativity School in Eritrea.
The Nativity School is located in Shinara Village, Eritrea, approximately five and a half miles from Keren. It was founded in 1961, and the Christian Brothers took responsibility for the school in 1982 when it was solely an elementary school. They expanded it to a junior secondary school in 1993. Today, it serves a total of 447 students with a staff of three Brothers, one priest, 14 lay teachers (eight men and six women), one guard and two cleaners. All students come from financially poor families with an average of six children. Typically only two or three of the six children have the opportunity to attend school because parents can’t afford the school fees, uniforms, books and other expenses.
With your help, Christian Brothers Academy will provide assistance to school in textbooks, notebooks, pens, pencils and financial assistance to all more children to attend Nativity School.
Your donation will change the life of a child today! On behalf of the children served at Nativity School in Shinara Village, Eritrea, we thank you for helping us transform lives! Remember, Christian Brothers Conference is a 501(c)3 non-profit and your donation is tax deductible.
