Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from the purpose include the development of activities that lead to a reduction in poverty and deprivation and to better conditions e.g. providing financial support to communities in need; Financial support is provided to clinics which leads to a better standard of living; Provision of better equipment enables a
correct health diagnosis. Children in developing countries are benefiting through the provision of finance towards school buildings, books, equipment, school fees and uniform, which in turn furthers their educational attainment. Involvement with our charity enables the horizons of members’ in the Derry Diocese to be broadened and enhanced by making them aware of the poverty and suffering in the developing world; identifying and providing help to the poor and needy there and encouraging comradeship amongst and deepening the faith of the members. These benefits are demonstrated by reports, letters and emails from the missionaries who receive the help; the growing numbers of people in the developing world attending church services; testimonies and photographs of the work carried out; the improvement of health in the communities and the empowerment of young people and adults to become leaders in their environment. These benefits are demonstrated by verbal feedback from members, continued attendance at meetings and events and continued enthusiasm for the work. There is no harm arising from this purpose of the organisation. The beneficiaries of the charity are the general-public in developing countries. The private benefit is the satisfaction of members on building a better world where the rights and dignity of each person is respected. This benefit is incidental.
What your organisation does
The spiritual dimension of Apostolic Work makes us different from many other aid agencies. We are one of the few organisations which actually supports priests, sisters and brothers in their spiritual and pastoral work. Supporting individuals already working in the area means that no one needs to travel and evaluate the projects because the
missionary knows the exact need of the area and local people. Our aim is to advance Christianity, the relief of poverty, the preservation of health, advance education and help decrease criminal behaviour. The financial requests are many and varied such as helping build churches, hospitals and schools, supporting catechists, supplying Sacred Vessels, food, medicines and clean water and helping with educational needs of children, young people and adults.
