She Reads, She Rises: Donate to the Lenten Project!

This year, Carondelet's Lenten Project is dedicated to supporting the AIC All-Girls Primary Boarding School – where 700 girls, including those rescued from FGM, early marriages, and abuse, find sanctuary and an education. Through our collective efforts, we will be collecting books and donating them to the school, helping to provide these young women with the resources they need to learn, dream, and build a brighter future. Learn more about the donation drive here. Join us in making a lasting impact—because every girl deserves the chance to write her own future.

Carondelet shares opportunities from outside organizations for informational purposes only. We do not affiliate with or endorse any particular organizations.

We’ve shared plans with the extended Carondelet community and now look forward to strong partnership and investment in this important project. The sooner we fund this campaign, the sooner our students will be in their new space, using it to maximize their promise and potential every day. This project is five months—start to finish—so if we fundraise fast we can break ground this spring and be ready to welcome students to the Boscacci Performance Center as they start school in the Fall.

The Power of Her takes the Power of Us… please reach out to your development team to continue the conversation, share ideas, and explore giving opportunities.

Thank you for using your power to empower her!
