Making education possible - Scholarships

Loreto Sisters working in Timor Leste provide financial assistance for living expenses of students originating from other towns who are studying at Marist Teachers College in Baucau. These students would otherwise be unable to continue their education due to basic living expenses.

MWIA is funding a Business Diploma scholarship for an East Timorese woman in Baucau. The diploma will equip this young woman with the skills and confidence to make a difference in her community.

Highlighting the importance of childhood development –
Establishment of crèches

Champagnat crèche is crèche for children of staff at the Teacher Training College in Bacau. This encourages good early childhood development.

The Loreto Sisters have also recently begun to set up an early childhood development program by establishing a new crèche for local children in Lari-Sula.

Continuing support of these programs in Timor Leste is made possible in partnership with Loreto Toorak Past-Pupils Association and Loreto Mandeville Hall.
