Looking back on 2025 at PMCO, there is one word you cannot avoid: building. Never before have we carried out so many large projects in parallel in such a short time. Our site has been transformed – from a small primary school into a real campus full of opportunities, safe spaces and prospects for the future.
Three big projects – one goal: creating opportunities
In less than ten months, three new buildings have gone up which, from 2026, will extend the heart of our educational work:
- The new kitchen complex: A modern large-scale kitchen in which more than 300 meals a day will be prepared in future – safely, efficiently and under hygienic conditions. This not only improves the way we feed the children, it also creates several new jobs for cooks and assistants.
- The Family Home: A house that will offer six to eight street children a new home – with permanent caregivers, educational support and everything a child needs to live: protection, security, structure. For many it will be the first place where they are truly allowed to be children.
- The boarding house: Our biggest project to date. From the 2026 school year, all our primary school children who come from remote villages or do not have a safe home environment will live here. The boarding house offers dormitories, study areas, sanitary facilities and supervision – an all-round safe space for success at school.
Why all this matters so much
Many children in our region, despite their talent, have no way of coming to school regularly – because the journey to school is too long, because they have to work or because there is no support at home. With the boarding house and the Family Home we are creating entirely new conditions for equal opportunities.
The new kitchen, too, is more than a building: it stands for nourishment, dignity and the promise that no child has to learn hungry.
Now only one thing is missing: your support
The shells of the buildings are up – but to fill them with life, we now need help. We still need:
- Beds, mattresses, shelves, chairs, learning materials
- Cooking utensils, plates, pots, cutlery
- Furnishings for the carers’ rooms
- Books, games, basic sanitary equipment
- Funding for the new staff: house mothers, social workers, night watchmen, cooks…
Every donation – whether €10 or €1,000 – helps us to fill these buildings with life, warmth and prospects.
