Self Denial Appeal 2021 - Week 1
14 February 2021
Commissioners Janine and Robert Donaldson introduce the 2021 Self Denial Appeal.
Since our last Self Denial Appeal, the world has changed. COVID-19 brought with it fear, disconnection and increased poverty to billions of people worldwide.
Commissioners Janine and Robert Donaldson introduce the 2021 video series, which shows how local territories are responding to the needs of communities through a children’s ministry in the favelas of Brazil, establishing self-help groups in India to teach business skills to women, and how a corps in Ukraine is transforming the future of young people through caring support and teaching life skills.
The final story revisits a project from 2019 in South Africa where clean water has changed the lives of thousands of people.
