Through prayer, relationship-building and sharing of resources, the Wheaton Franciscans collaborate with organizations whose mission and priorities are similar to ours. We focus primarily on the following areas: care of creation; health and dental in underserved areas; refugees and immigrants; women and children in vulnerable situations; and other purposes that align with our values. We are currently connected to nearly 100 organizations.

Navjyoti Women’s Center
Water Project for Koshidekha Village
Kathmandu, Nepal
The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, KY serve in and around the village of Koshidekha in Nepal, which was at the center of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in 2015, causing over 9000 deaths and catastrophic damage. The Sisters worked collaboratively with local leaders, government officials and others to rebuild the water delivery system infrastructure. Due to their efforts, 690 families in Koshidekha – a very remote village 175 km away from Kathmandu – were provided safe drinking water.
For it is in giving that we receive.
St. Francis of Assisi
