Fr. Anand Talluri, PIME
PIME Missionary in the new mission of Tunisia, Fr. Anand shares his Catholic faith indirectly by witnessing Christ’s mercy and charity. A priest in a predominantly Muslim country, Fr.

Featured Project:
Provide a Better Future for Children in Mumbai, India
Fr. Mateus and his team aim to break the cycle of poverty that has trapped the children of the Govandi Slums by targeting the youngest children in Pre-K with quality education/academics, sports, and education on values. This ongoing program helps to enhance academic performance and provide he skills needed for primary education and beyond, boost self-confidence, reduce dropout rates and positively affect families and the community.
Fr. Mateus needs help to give the smallest students of these Mumbai slums a way out of poverty, and the opportunity at a better life.
