As the international solidarity organization of the Jesuits in the United States, we are committed to working with individuals and institutions to support Jesuit education and development initiatives in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

Global Solidarity, Local Action
We collaborate with local Jesuit organizations by providing financial support and project resources to help them expand their capacity to address the challenges their communities are facing.
With support from generous individuals and organizations in the United States, we are responding to the Jesuit’s call “to go anywhere across the geographical and cultural frontiers where there is need of working with Christ”.

Stories of Impact
Suzanne – United States
“Sometimes when you see it in front of your own eyes, it takes on a different approach and you feel it in your heart." Witnessing the work of Fe y Alegría first hand had a real impact on Suzanne Krudys.
Jorge – Argentina
From poetry to soccer, nothing is out of reach for Jorge. Inclusive education programs at Fe y Alegría are opening doors despite his visual impairment.
Mariela – Venezuela
Investing in new sewing machines gives students at the San Javier del Valle vocational school the “right tool for the job” and the opportunity to gain hands-on experience.
Leocadia – Cuba
Through the SIEMBRA and COMPARTE agricultural network, the Loyola Centers in Cuba are giving small farmers like Leocadia new opportunities for economic stability.
Samantha – Malawi
Counseling services at the Loyola Jesuit Secondary School in Malawi are giving students like Samantha a safe space to feel listened to and accompanied.
Project Partners
American Jesuits International
We believe that people understand their context best, so we work with Jesuit organizations who are already immersed in local communities. From schools to migrant centers, parishes to health clinics, the Jesuits have been responding to the needs of communities in need for nearly 500 years.
Your support allows us to amplify their capacity to respond to the challenges that their communities face.
Who we are
American Jesuits International is the international solidarity organization of the Society of Jesus in the United States. Inspired by Ignatian spirituality, we support Jesuit education and development initiatives in marginalized communities to build just and equitable societies in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
Our work is guided by the Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Jesuits and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. We are committed to solidarity, justice, connection, dignity, and transparency. Our partners help us to lift up the voices of people and communities living on the margins of society.
