Portraits
The Society of the Sacred Heart

"The Society of the Sacred Heart is an international community of women committed to education in justice and faith. When I met Patrick Hynes (Oikocredit UK representative), I immediately understood that investing in Oikocredit would be putting our financial resources to good use. What resonates most with us is your vision: Access to credit is a basic human right and in extending credit to the poor and marginalised, it is the human spirit that we trust. The English branch of our Society has received a generous legacy. We had not been expecting it, and therefore had not been counting on it to support our members. So why not invest it in the freedom of others?"
Sr Bernadette Porter, The Society of the Sacred Heart
