| Introduction | Baraka means 'blessing' in the Kiswahili language. The Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI) Fathers belong to Preshitha Province (Coimbatore, India) manage this Chalice Sponsor Site where educational programmes are given priority. The Site runs programmes to empower women, men, and youth in the community. The Baraka Youth Association works to engage youth and men and there are 16 micro-financing groups which enable women to invest in small business, fulfil their families’ immediate needs and act quickly in emergencies. The Agricultural Programs organized by Chalice are a huge boost for everyone. The farm-input seminars and assistance given in the form of fertilizer and seeds are promoting greater food security in the region. In the Chalice Sponsor Site of Baraka, dedicated efforts are taken to improve the educational standard of children and develop a healthy community. There is a focus on imparting moral and religious values through sharing Jesus. BARAKA STAFF Site Director - Fr. Jose Kaithavalappil, CMI; Accountant - Fr.
