The Christmas Bowl Empowers Communities – East Timor

The income Moses has received from the kiosk has allowed him to pay back his loans, continue his studies in teaching at the National University of East Timor and

assist his large family.

$360 can provide sewing machines and materials for a group of five people.

“Before I ran this kiosk I couldn’t afford to feed my family.” - The Reverend Dominggus, a local church minister in the

Aeliu District of East Timor
