Sister Ethel Memorial Education Fund

August 8 – September 15, 2024

Campaign Goal = $20,000

On August 8th, Sister Ethel’s heavenly birthday, Missionvale USA is kicking off a new fundraising campaign raising money for the Normoyle Primary School in Missionvale Care Center. 

Education was always very important to Sister Ethel from the days of her teaching the ABCs and 123s to children under The Tree to the Primary School that excels today. She believed that education was the tool to raise people out of poverty by providing them this opportunity to be successful in life.

The Normoyle Primary School offers approximately 170 children, grades R through 7, the chance to learn, grow, and excel in life. They also have the opportunity to participate in many extracurricular activities such as stellpan drums, chess club, march and drill club, and sporting activities that give the children an opportunity to see the world outside of Missionvale.

Our Causes

The need is so great in the Missionvale Township. Missionvale USA has focused its efforts around fundraising for the most fundamental and critical needs of education, nutrition, and health care.

While our fundraising campaigns center within these categories, we also work hard to secure general funding that the Care Center can use to operate any of their programs and services and meet the needs of the people.
