In Solidarity with Jesuit Organizations Abroad

Global Solidarity, Local Action

Motivated by our Ignatian values, we stand in solidarity with the works and initiatives of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) which are responding to the challenges faced by communities in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. 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.”

You can contribute to environmental sustainability and meaningful livelihoods!
