2022 Edition
The Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio are committed to having a heart for God and living a life for others. We invite you to join with us in that commitment by submitting a project for our consideration.
Women are at the heart of their communities. The demands women face each day are many as are the challenges they encounter. For women living in economic poverty, the resources they need to succeed are often beyond their reach. These include education, economic opportunity, personal safety, healthcare and social services. By working with women, how can you make a difference in their lives and in the lives of those who are part of their communities?
The purpose of this initiative is to provide funding to develop and implement a project to serve economically poor women.
