Where We Work

You will find SVD missionaries working all over the world – from the “Silicon Mountain” of Tondo, Manila, where Fr. Benigno Beltran, SVD, is helping to turn one of the world’s largest garbage dumps into a viable, self-sustaining community – to the Mother of Perpetual Help Center in Nhong Bua Lamphu, Thailand, where Bro. Damien Lunders, SVD, ministers to those afflicted with HIV/AIDS.

Take a few moments to read about us and where we work. The chart below lists our SVD foundations and the countries where we minister. In our profiles, SVDs share their lives with you: where they are from, where they are ministering now, and how they feel about the joys and challenges of missionary life.
