September marks back-to-school season for students all over the world, and the Sacred Heart College in the village of Lada II in Cameroon is no exception! This year, not only are the Sacred Heart family preparing for a new term of hard work and study, they’re also working hard at improving their school buildings and facilities, thanks to the generosity of our MSC mission friends here in the Irish Province and beyond.
This summer, we asked you to help us to raise funds for the Sacred Heart College, where eager young students have been doing their best to learn despite unfinished surroundings and a lack of facilities. Thanks to your kindness, work has already begun on making the school a safer place for students to learn and grow, with the equipment they need to do their best.

The new school year at the Sacred Heart College has already begun, with attendance increased by 80% from last year. A new school bus is in place, making it safer and easier for students to get to school every day. Staff and students are looking forward to working together this year to make the Sacred Heart community stronger than ever.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all who donated so generously to make this work possible, and we’re wishing the staff and students at the Sacred Heart College a wonderful year ahead!
