The Comparte Network
“Humanity is called to recognise the need for lifestyle, production, and consumption changes”
– Pope Francis, Laudato si’
The Comparte Networks responds in part to the complex reality of social exclusion experienced by many communities in Latin America which is amplified by global climate change. Sharing lessons learned, working to create and strengthen production alternatives, and banding together to care for their communities and our common home, the network is allowing their people to stay in their local communities and still achieve “el Buen vivir” or the “good life.”
The true protagonists of Comparte are rural communities, indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples, as well as individuals from marginalized urban areas. They come together in a wide range of organizations that manage economic and productive initiatives across different value chains: agricultural, livestock, diversified agro-industrial, services, and manufactured products.
Our Strategic Partnership
Building bridges of solidarity
American Jesuits International firmly believes in the importance of environmental sustainability and meaningful livelihoods for communities on the margins. As a shared work of the JCCU and CPAL, we are also committed to supporting Jesuit works throughout the Americas. This means that the Comparte Network, and the many social centres for which it is formed, is a key strategic partner in the pursuit of our mission.
Through this partnership, and your support, our community of Jesuit solidarity will reach over 50,000 families throughout Latin America who participate in the Comparte Network through their local social centers.
Comparte Network Partners
The partner entities of the Comparte network are social organisations (also known as “social centres”) with a long-standing tradition of supporting excluded communities in Latin America. Most of them are connected to the network of Social Centres of the Society of Jesus in Latin America.
They support a wide range of producer organisations that develop economic and productive initiatives reaching over 50,000 families (79% rural population and 21% urban or semi-urban).
