Every person dreams of a life filled with opportunities, hope and the possibility of a new beginning. Since 2002, the Carmelites, with the generous support of the Carmelite family, have helped transform more than 5,600 young lives through education. Together we have been able to give children and young adults the opportunity to learn to read, write and do arithmetic. Importantly, we’ve provided them with a life-changing pathway to a career or vocation.
