About Us
Bishop Gassis Sudan Relief Fund is a 501c3 charity registered as a tax exempt organization by the IRS.
In just ten years, with the prayers and financial support of faithful people like you,we have made very real progress under the most difficult circumstances imaginable:
- At the height of the war we dug bore wells wherever and whenever we were able. Today, we're digging more wells and creating healthful, more permanent sources of life-giving water for the people.
- We're bringing much-needed health care to a region that until a few years ago had not known medical care of any kind. We have built a full-scale, 80-bed hospital, "Mother of Mercy," the first of its kind in my diocese.
- We are also expanding our small medical dispensaries run by Mother Teresa of Calcutta's Sisters of Charity. We're supplying life-saving medicines, vaccines and much-needed basics like first-aid ointments, bandages and soap. Pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and equipment, and blankets and beds are still needed.
- We're moving beyond our first makeshift schools to the development of the first full-fledged educational system ever in the diocese. We're graduating students from our primary schools in ever-greater numbers. And we're building classrooms and purchasing benches, desks, books and school supplies for the growing numbers of secondary school students in the region.
- Today, we're building centers of education and religious formation. Additionally, we're building basic housing for catechists and teachers, so that they will have clean and safe places to live while doing God's work in the diocese.
- And we are spreading the Holy Gospel—the healing, merciful, loving message of Christ Jesus—to the most remote and dangerous corners of the diocese.
