KNIGHTHOOD
Sir Kevin Rochay was knighted in Rome Italy for his mission and commitment to get rid of Child labor, Mercury, Blood Gold and all his philanthropy for children and animals around the world.
The worldwide charitable Order of Saint Lazarus confers knighthood in recognition of “international generosity, patronage and philanthropy.”
The Order of Saint Lazarus is an international, ecumenical charity based in Madrid with affiliates in 36 countries. It first established a leprosarium in 1191, originally in Jerusalem and then in Gaza. The order has grown in modern times beyond its centuries-old military background into a global humanitarian network providing a wide range of medical services as well as caring for the socially disadvantaged, the excluded and victims of war. It takes its name from Lazarus, the beggar whose story is told in the biblical gospel of St Luke (16:19-31). Sufferers of leprosy regarded him as their patron saint and usually dedicated their hospices to him. Lazarus also appeared in the medieval Islamic tradition, in which he was honoured as a pious companion of Jesus. The Order’s international projects now support a wide range of philanthropic activities in the pursuit of providing support, care and help to the poor, the sick and dying in the community. It’s latest annual report states: “While maintaining the Order’s historical provision of support to victims of leprosy, our jurisdictions responded to the ever-changing needs of the modern world and supported a variety of other needs. Significant philanthropic donations and volunteer time were expended in support of palliative efforts and medical care of children, individuals with special needs and needy members of society, such as handicapped, aged and terminally ill people. An incredible amount of support was also provided to the people of Ukraine to address their significant needs.”.
Emergency relief and care programs
The Order’s most recent projects include emergency relief for victims of the 2022 tsunami that struck Tonga and providing on-the-ground humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine. It continues to devote resources to care for those affected by leprosy (Hansen’s disease). This includes a three-year project to support Premananda Hospital in India which aims to treat and rehabilitate people affected by leprosy, including provision of vital reconstructive surgery to restore mobility and eyesight, protective footwear to prevent further injury, health education and teaching people how to live with the effects of leprosy The Order’s Spafford Children’s Centre, founded in 1925, provides psychological, social, and educational support in East Jerusalem for mothers and children who live under difficult socio-economic conditions. It also offers speech therapy to children who have lost the power of speech due to trauma and conflict in Jerusalem.
