Girl's Dormitory, Kulaman, Mindanao

For 60 Manobo Dulangan Girls

The Girls’ Dormitory at remote Kulaman on the island of Mindanao, is owned and managed by our RNDM Sisters. It provides a safe and loving environment for 60 young women of the Dulangan people, enabling them to attend the adjacent Catholic school run by the Oblate Fathers. 

Because they are the first generation of their people to receive formal school education, their parents have little or no cash income for school fees, let alone for their food and living expenses away from home. When it is possible, the families do contribute to the dormitory by way of labour – cutting wood, clearing weeds, digging drains, trimming trees etc and by bringing a share of their meager harvest of vegetables, corn and hill rice. But there is a considerable shortfall in resources each year. 

 Can you help?
