. The two sponsored projects each receive
half of the amount donated to the five-year project.
For 2016 to 2020 the Scots Kirk’s five-year project is run by Kalunba, a
Hungarian NGO that works hand-in-hand with the Scots Kirk in Budapest to help
conflict refugees in that country.
The first sponsored project this year is Christian Aid, the Church of Scotland’s
main charity partner for 2016. Our funds help this renowned NGO develop basic
infrastructure for communities in poor regions around the world. The second
sponsored project is Jyoti’s Joy, a local charity that provides much needed
education to children in rural Nepal.
We support several other charitable projects on a more modest scale or on an
basis. Of these, Proxy is worthy of mention. This charity supports carers
in the community by providing services to reduce the constant pressures they
endure. Thanks to the soup lunches organised by Ilze Condemi and her friends,
the Scots Kirk has for some years been able to help this vital but less
headline-grabbing cause.
