Millennium Development Goals

St. Paul's most recent outreach efforts are through the Episcopal Millennium Development Goals to which St. Paul's is devoting 0.7% of its annual budget. St. Paul's focus is on the Carpenter Kids Program in Tanzania, and its own on-site recycling program.

The Millennium Development Goals, endorsed by the Episcopal Church are eight interrelated targets for the eradication of global poverty:

  • Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
  • Achieve universal primary education
  • Promote gender equality and empower women
  • Reduce child mortality
  • Improve maternal health
  • Combat HIV/AIDS malaria and other diseases
  • Ensure environmental sustainability
  • Develop a global partnership for development

 

Carpenter's Kids

To build inter-parish and cross cultural relationships, St. Paul's has committed to sponsor children in one village in the Diocese of Central Tanzania by providing $3,000 a year, for five years. The funds will go for school uniforms, shoes and basic school materials, as well as breakfast on school days. After an investigative trip to the village by two St. Paul's members, Suzanne Johnson and Roger Whitfield,  the MDG committee plans to sponsor work missions to help the villagers in construction, health or educational projects.
