I have known Merla through her sister, Beth and we worked in the same hospital for so many years.
Yes, I am willing to support Mary Queen of all Nations Missionary Alliance. It is for the Lord that Merla
was inspired to do such a wonderful task.

To all:

I would like to add my Congratulations to Mary Queen of all Nations in achieving such a prestigious award. I have known Merla Ricafranco for some time and I know that the Lord is using her to reach many prople who are in need. In a world where so many pass by their brothers and sister who are in need without a second thought, it is wonderful to observe Merla's mission work to care for her neighbor. Even though they are far away physically her heart seems to be with them and she hears their cry for help. The Lord is good and uses who He may to achieve His work in this world. Praise by Jesus Christ. Alice McKeever

This wonderful Missionary Alliance is very awesome and helpful to all that people that need help. The Founder of this alliance is one my greatest grandma she helps many people in different countries. When she started this Alliance ,she puts her owned money to help the people in need, she even spend time going to Shop Rite and buy some canned goods so she could sent cargo boxes the all different countries.

What a great Non-profitable organization this was? My name is Cerilo. I am a volunteer to this wonderful Catholic non-profitable organization. Two years ago I met Merla in person founder of this organization and she was so warm and honest leader and prayerful lady as well. She explained the goal and purpose of this organization at length. There after I was drawn to this organization. This organization supports the Poor, studies of Priests and Seminarians, poor communities and neighborhoods, Religious Sisters, Hospitals, shelter for the homeless and others. Personally, I believe that her life of prayer and devotion, constantly gives her spiritual strength to take on this mission for God, the Church, and the poor all over the world. This organization is not only serving the local Church where it was found but serves and open to serve to all nations. She not only uses her strength, talents, time, but even her own resources to this organization. In fact, she started this organization with her own personal money. If this is one thing I can admire her and this organization, is no other than this very act and sacrifice. Eventually, I told her my interest to be part of the countless generous volunteers who tirelessly help and support this great cause. Having learned that this organization was based on Catholic perspective and mission, I was even more excited to be part of, because I'm Catholic myself. Truly, this was very comfortable environment for me to be, and I am glad I made this commitment.

This is a wonderful Missionary Alliance that help a lot of people in need and hoping it will continue their mission to serve others and God.

The founder of this Missionary Alliance is a very honest person. She is like a living saint. She has been helping the poor in many countries all over the world for almost 30years. But she has been doing self ministry even before the Alliance started. I am so happy to be part of the such a humble and awesome non-profit group. I encourage everyone to support this Alliance. You may email the founder on this email address mqanmission@gmail.com if you want to learn more about Mary, Queen of All Nations Alliance.

I know the founder of this organization personally, and I am blown away by the amount of good she manages to do with very little funding. 100% of the money donated goes to helping people in need; Merla covers all the operating costs from her own savings. She is an incredible money manager, and I can only imagine the good she could do with a substantial donation and the backing of Great Nonprofits!

I'm Fr. Bandua Pontius, I have been helped by this organisation several times and many students both girls and boys have been helped by the same organisation through me. The organisation helped the students in paying them school fees and many of them are now working to support their lives. Many orphans and widows have been helped by this organisation and it is a great support to humanity. It is even great to see how a sister in USA can help me here in Uganda - Africa. How a beautiful the encounter is. I hope the organisation will have great strength to support more people. It is an organization that can be rated as one of best humanitarian organisation. The founder is gifted person who cares for all people in particular the needy in the poor countries of the world. The organisation needs more funding to expand its operation and maintain the communities that depend on it for their basic needs of life. My personal encounter with it has been great and life changing.

I am T.Sruthi 23 years from India. I am one of the beneficiary of Mary Queen of All Nations Alliance, Dover, N J USA. I have been supported for more then a decade for my education through this organisation. Today I have completed B.Tech from JNTU ( Javaharlal Nehru Technology University), because of the financial support of this organisation. We are 10 students who had been supported through this organization for the last thirteen years. We are grateful to this organisation. We came to know that this organisation is supporting many more students, mostly orphans . Thanks to Mary Queen of All Nations Missionary Alliance and especially to the founder Merla Ricafranca.

Merla is away helpful, positive and has great spiritual strength. Her organization helps priest in various countries with their ministries. 100% of donations go to help the poor.

Merla is one of the most helpful people I know. She is always willing to help out my family when needed.

100% of all donations go to support the poor and needy throughout the third world. You cannot find another charity like this.

Merla has been able to reach out to the poorest of the poor in an effective way. She has done great work!

merla does a great job helping the needy and poor throughout the world.

It is my privilege to be involved with this organization for the past 5 years. 100% of the amount donated is spent on various self-sufficiency projects throughout the world. Indeed the organization truly reflects God's call to serve our poorest brethren.
Please consider donating to this charity. Your donation is much appreciated.

THE DONATIONS GO DIRECT TO THE PEOPLE IN NEED. LOTS OF TIMES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO HELP THE PEOPLE BECOME SELF SUFFICIENT. MONEY IS NOT WASTED ON OVERHEAD AND THE PERSON IN CHARGE, AT TIMES HAS MADE UP SHORTAGES WITH HER OWN MONEY. WE GET DETAILED REPORTS WHERE THE MONEY GOES AND HOW IT IS USED. VERY INSPIRING!

i support this charity because every dollar spent goes directly to those it is meant to serve.
it changes lives, and gives hope to those who have no hope.

This organization is my favorite charity. Your donations are well spent on projects such as education, food, medicines, housing, and teaching the poor on becoming self-sufficient.

What I Iove about this charity is that it really helps people learn how to fish rather than just simply giving them fish. It is wonderful to be able to give people a trade where they can help to support their family and build up their community. The projects that this charity funds really helps to improve people's lives.

I am glad to give my review about this organization "MARY QUEEN OF ALL NATIONS MISSIONARY ALLIANCE" I am a catholic priest of Guntur diocese and Executive Director for The Guntur Diocese Social Service and Welfare Society, India. I know this organization for more than two years. In fact this organization had been supporting for my mission in Guntur diocese, especially for constructing sheds for Mineral Water Plants, constructing Toilets and Urinals for RCM Schools. This organization also helps me by sending "Mass-intentions", which I faithfully celebrate the Holy Masses and use the money in my mission work. Me, the RCM School Children and teachers and the catholic communities where the sheds were built for Mineral Water Plants remain ever grateful to this organization. I wish and pray that this organization grows more and more in finding more donors who could help many poor and needy people. A BIG THANKS for this organization and to you "Great Nonprofits" God bless you all.

Fr. Amati Tom Walter, a Roman Catholic Diocesan Priest serving in Uganda. I feel obliged to say a ward of up laud and thanks giving to the non profit Charity organization of "Mary Queen of All Nations Missionary Alliance". I have witnessed many life changing experiences/ services of this organization. In Uganda, i can testify that they have tremendously served the needy people through their missionary counter parts over here.
For instance, Fr. Joseph SSebyala took me to the coffee project meant to help and educate about 60 orphans of HIV/AIDS VICTIMS, and he often asked me to pray for some intentions for which this Charity group sent Mass stipend/ intentions. Again Fr. Andrew Onyango is being funded by the same to care for the Prisoners who are under his care ( serving as chaplain for prisoners in the Diocese), Sr. teddy in Arua is also being aided to give hope for the needy children in their area of service and these are indeed doing well and so, i am greatly embraced by the generosity of all those Donors who back this all loving and caring charity group. When i read their annual news letters, i see how wonderful they are extending the love of God to the suffering brothers and sisters all over that world, especially in Africa- Rwanda, Tanzania etc India- Bolivia and beyond. Please, let's pray that God strengthens this group so as to reach out with their services to many more needy brothers and sisters in the suffering parts of the world. May God bless us all enormously!
Yours sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Amati Tom Walter.

I am Sr. Teddy Joyce Adaku, serving God in the congregation of the "Missionary Sisters of Mary Mother of the Church", in Arua Diocese, Northern Uganda. We are greatly inspired, motivated and strengthened by the charitable works of "Mary Queen of All Nations Missionary Alliance". It was recommended to us by friends from USA, and we applied to them and so with help of the Funds from their donors we have managed to change the lives of many orphans and needy girls over here. It is our prayer and wish that God may bless, and strengthen this organization so that many more destitutes can see brighter future with their help. We are especially thankful to them for the funds they annually send for our continuing project of educating orphans. At the moment, we do receive funds from them for helping the following needy orphans;

1. Onziru Stella, 16 yrs old- now in Senior three ( S.3)
2. Mercy Dorine, 14 yrs old, in S.2
3. Alezuyo Julliet, 18 yrs old, in S.4
4. Angukoru Christine, 20 yrs old, in S.4
5. Driciru Jane, 20 yrs old, finished S.4, now studying catering and hotel management.

These girls are indeed happier and highly hopeful for a brighter and self sustaining life in future. This Change in life is mainly with the help of the above mentioned non profit charity organization. The three of the beneficiaries have freely expressed high interest to join convent and become religious Nuns in order to continue serving God in his people. We pray that this help continues for them and for all those needy all over the world. We will be grateful to God if more donors join and back them in showing love and care for the suffering all over the world. Many thanks to our donors, please , may God see you through! Yours, loving and caring mum Sr. Teddy.

I am Manuel M. Navoa, a missionary to the prisons and jails in the Philippines. Since 1988 I am on mission going to all the jails in the Philippines sharing my life story to the prisoners on my life of being saved from the death penalty by eloectric chair for the crime I have not done telling the prisoners nothing is impossible to God, not to loss hope and to give their whole life to God.In my visit to the prisoners, I bring along what they are in great need in their pitiful life in the prison. It was Mary Queen of All Nations Missionary who support me with financial help in order for me to reach the far prisons in the Philippines and buy items through their financial help for what I can buy in the stores to which I can give to the prisoners. The Mary Queen of All Nations Missionary Alliance send me boxes from their locations in New Jersey which contains clothes, towels,k medicines, canned goods, hair shampoos, toothbrushes, toothpastes, lotions, bath soaps, and other material things which help alleviate the hardships of the prisoners.Without the help of Mary Queen of All Nations, I cannot moved from one jails to another in paying for the expenses in travelling and also for buying what the prisoners request from me especially I see sick prisoners crying and asking me to buy medicines for their sickness and if only you are with me your eyes will shed tears. I hope that you help Mary Queen of All Nations Missionary Alliance so that they can continue to help us missionaries and help all the people who are in great need in which they are reaching all over the world. We should not forget them and if there is Mary Queen of All Nations Missionary Alliance, we can see great sufferings from those who have been forgotten and abandoned in our society. I hope they will be able to help many people and through your help they can move and help greatly many more people who are suffering in the world.This is the truth from my hearet that without them I cannot reach many prisoners. May God bless all those who will support and hyelp Mary Queen of All Nations Missionary Alliance to reach more suffering people. Manuel Navoa.

I have known about this organization since it started 28 yrs. ago and amazed that with limited funds a lot of lives are improved and services to humanity is being done to third world countries because of the help that this organization is providing. I'm impressed at how the founder's sacrifices and dedication with the help of volunteers, she continues to provide the necessities of life to others. She truly loves her neighbors as herself by showing us this example. May God give her more blessings through donations that goes 100% to those in need of help.

My Congregation, The Dominican Sisters of the Most Holy Rosary of the Philippines had been benefitting from the help extended to us by the Mary Queen of all Nations Missionary Alliance as far as I can recall since the year 1995 when I was assigned in our Orphanage, St. Dominic Girls' Home in Molo, Iloilo City, Philippines and until now. The Alliance is helping our poor orphans in their tuition fees. We received clothing school supplies canned goods etc. I had also received an amount to help the poor by giving them small capital to start their small business. For the self help program of our orphanage we received amounts to buy machines for bag- making. Recently, the Missionary Alliance gave us amount to help flood victims in the province of Iloilo and Capiz, What I appreciate most and I request from the alliance to continue is our Scholarship grant to the poor students of The Dominican College of Iloilo. At present the alliance help in the tuition fees of Ten Students. Hopefully, they will be graduating in their two year course in college at the end of this coming school year.

For the past 5 yrs . have been involved with MARY QUEEN OF ALL NATIONS MISSIONARY ALLIANCE mission. It has made a great contribution in the lives of all its members. Helping us to know the Lord by helping others. It first impressed me that by its small size AND THAT this little mission was affecting so my lives. With its limited funds,helping so many groups of poor forgotten people become self-sufficent. The goat program; the pigs program; tuition for girls school; the rice distribution for families; funds for the education of seminaries; sanitary facilities for a poor mission school; a prison mission to help prisoners get close to God; books for a school library that had a building but no books; I could go on and on but this gives you an idea of the many things this little mission accomplishes with very limited funds. These funds are very closely monitered by our director and the people she is in contact with at these different missions as she has personally visited the missions and knows the people. The board carefully reviews all the requests and frequently makes suggestions for efficentcy and cost cutting.

I have been familiar with this mission from its inception. I'm sure many will speak of the good work that it does, so I'd like to speak about how efficiently it operates. Like many I am concerned about all the news stories of how some "non-profit" organizations reward their administrators handsomely making them some of the nation's highest paid executives. This is NOT one of them. Mary Queen of All Nations Alliance is the purest of the pure non-profit organization. Its primary sponsor and founder, Ms. Ricafranca, pays for all of the administrative expenses from her own meager pension. And she personally watches to make sure every cent is efficiently spent to do the most good. They do not just hand out money to middlemen. Their primary focus is to help needy people help themselves with projects like providing seed money to help a local church set up a small business to make the poor self-sufficient. Can you get any more efficient than that? Finally, Ms Ricafranca provides a periodic news letter so that donors know how every cent is spent. With Mary Queen of All Nations Alliance donors are assured that every cent that they contribute will do the most good.

I have known about this missionary aliance for decades helping out the poorest of the poor in underprivileged countries like Peru, India, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Costa Rica and the Philippines. The main goal of this organization is to help out
our poor brothers and sisters around the world, have better life, better health and have the opportunity to rise above poverty through subsidized education and self-sufficiency projects. The funds come from donations from parishioners, friends and family, which is very much limited and not enough to fund all its projects. The administrative and operational expenses are shouldered by the founder and administrator and the donations goes 100% for the mission.

Typical self-sufficiency projects are as follows:

+ In RWANDA, funds were provided to purchase 98 goats to assist 196 men who were victims of the genocide. Each goat is tended by two men and after the goats produce, the kid goat is given to the second men and each takes care of his own goat. This will provide the men with a means of livelihood to provide for themselfes and their families.

Additional 6 sewing machines were provided to the sewing center where young girls are learning the skills and knowledge of sewing, which provided them an income from the sale of their products.

+ In PERU, 3 sewing machines and 24 chairs were provided to the Refugee Center, where women can learn to sew clothes and also use the sewing machines in some of their arts and crafts. This provided the women a livelihood and an income from the sale of their products.

+ In TANZANIA, funds for the needs of the orphans were provided.

+ In BOLIVIA, INDIA and the PHILIPPINES, assistance was given to 55 students, 44 were in Elementary and High School and 11 in college.

+ In DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, school aid fund was provided.

I have known this organization for more than ten years now. And I am amazed how this little known mission alliance has helped and supported the needs of the poorest among the poor, provided and supported livelihood projects for families to be self-reliant, helped needy students go to school, and many more.

I am an American Franciscan Missionary Sister in Peru. This Missionary alliance has done tremendous
things to help us build social centers in the shnty towns where people can meet. It has aided
Sisters and Priests in different ministries such as Our Shekina Center for treatment of the poor
through natural medicine, Reflexology and massage. The poor have no real means of paying for medical
help and treatment. It has funded motor cycles for use in the mountains where Misionaries have a
very difficult time travelling. For a small organization, this Missionary Alliance had worked marvels!
We are deeply grateful to them for their generous work for so many places in the world - knowing
that they are a rather small charitable organization.

We truly want such a small but marvellously working organization such as Mary Queen of all Nations
Missionary Alliance to receive help so that they can continue and extend their aid through out the
world. More often than not these small groups do more with their donations than the really big
one where so much of the donated money is used for administration. I hope anf prat that they will be named as one group to be helped by this project : Great Nonprofits.

I am glad to give my review about this organisation " MARY QUEEN OF ALL NATIONS MISSIONARY ALLIANCE" I am a catholic priest of Warangal diocese, India. I know this organisation for more then a decade. In fact this organisation had been supporting for my mission in Warangal diocese , especially for educating the poor and orphan children. This organisation is supporting 10 students to meet all the educational needs, as they are very poor , orphan or semi orphans. Now most of these students have completed school education and they are at the college/ university level. They need to be supported more to continue their higher education , as the higher education is more expensive. I am glad to certify that this organisation also helped for " Income Generation Project for the Rural Women" in my parish and this organisation also helps me by sending " Mass-intentions" every year, which I faithfully celebrate the Holy Masses and use the money in my mission work,. Me and my beloved 10 students and women group and the people of my parish remain ever grateful to this organisation. I wish and pray that this organisation grows more and more in finding more donors who could help many poor and needy people. A BIG THANKS for this organisation and to you " Great Nonprofits" God bless you all.

We have been helped so many times by this organization of Mary, Queen of all Nations Missionary Alliance. Our mission in the Andes,the village of Sondor is very poor and this organization gave us enough money to by a motor cycle so that the priest could get to the country villages to celebrate Mass. Then when I was sent to the desert town of Piura they also helped us again to pay for the kitchen in an apartment which I was constructing for abused women or women and their children who needed a place to stay for awhile due to domestic violence. Piura has the highest rate of Domestic violence in Peru. Thanks to the generosity of this organization we have been able to accomplish our goals and help people to help themselves. Sister Maureen Coyle. MFIC

I have been involved from the very beginning of the founding of this organization. This organization in the past 28 years have helped thousands of individuals, families and even villages and small communities in the Third World countries, rise above poverty through education, self-sufficiency projects, sanitation, housing, nutrition, providing water, Rice Subsidy, Prison Ministry as well as in their spiritual growth. Self-sufficiency projects such as goats, sheep, chickens, pigs, cows and buffaloes provided the orphanages, families and individuals with means to earn an income as well as provide milk, food, clothing, education and some, also health insurance for their families. Other projects such as cycle rickshaw and tricycle van to provide transportation service to earn an income were provided. Also projects such as providing tools, instructors and materials for agriculture, carpentry, fishing, sewing, baking, cooking, hair cutting and other trades. Homes for Orphan Girls were provided with beds, bed sheets, tables and chairs, ironing board, kitchen utensils, etc. Nutrition Centers were built used not only to feed the children but also as clinic and as pre-school classrooms. Dispensary Centers had been provided with equipments and medicines. Emergency crisis funds were provided for medical emergencies and for those suffering from the effects of flood and cyclones. For sanitation and hygiene, toilets and latrines as well as water wells and water tanks were provided. Mineral water sheds were built to provide the people with purified water. Houses, churches, chapels were built and/or repaired. One of the chapels built was named by the Bishop as Mary Queen of All Nations Church. Vestments, chalices, etc. were provided to priests and Bishops. Priests were given motorcycles and boat to be able to reach and evangelize their people in the rural areas, to celebrate Mass and the Sacraments. Schools were provided with desks and chairs. Rice Subsidy, Prison Ministry and many other small projects as well as packages containing basic necessities such as clothing, shoes, toys, non-perishable food items, school and office supplies, books, bibles, rosaries and many other items were provided. People who were able to rise above poverty and able to provide for their families are also trying to help other families to give them the same opportunity that has been provided to them. Seminarians as well as secular students were assisted, mostly for tuition and school supplies. Many seminarians had since been ordained and are now serving in many parishes, in seminaries as rectors and professors, while some were sent abroad by their respective dioceses for further studies. Students who have graduated and gained employments are also trying to do the same, to give other students the same opportunity afforded to them. School for the Blind was provided with canes, clothing, shoes, tables, as well as transportation assistance. All the projects of this organization are small projects because of very limited funds but the effects on the families are tremendous and lasting. This organization is run by all volunteer board members, no one receives any remuneration and 100% of donations received are actually used to help the poor rise above poverty. Operational expenses are shouldered 100% by the Founder of this organization who willingly and lovingly gives everything she could possibly provide herself, resources, time and labor, providing all operational expenses and also for projects needing funds to keep the projects going with the graces and blessings from the Lord God Almighty.
