This letter just arrived from our ministry partner Brother Beausang Catholic School in the desperately poor region of Embul-bul, Kenya. There, Cross Catholic Outreach provides education and daily meals to 800 impoverished students, as well as supplies teacher and staff salaries for compassionate and hardworking people like Esther Mwangi. She writes:
New Home = Free Heart
Last year we funded a housing project in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. This year we got to visit the beneficiaries of those new homes. One of them, 56-year-old Berhane, was especially grateful. Until Sr. Abeba of the Daughters of Charity helped her, she had been living in the streets.

Our Projects Officer to Africa, Tara McKinney, just returned from visiting our Cross Catholic partners in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world and more than 70 percent of children under 7 have never had the opportunity to attend school.
Dare to Dream
Can you imagine being a kid with no dreams for the future? Last weekend, as I watched my little nephews pretend they were basketball stars during the final NBA playoff game, I couldn’t help but think of the hundreds of hopeless street children I met in Kitale, Kenya.
Assignment From the Vatican
Have you heard? Cross Catholic Outreach is expanding its collaborative relationship with the Vatican’s own charity organization, the Pontifical Council Cor Unum. It’s an opportunity to work on a project selected by the Holy Father himself!
Charity with Dignity
You may hear us talk about maintaining the dignity of the poor. Part of having dignity is knowing that you are a valuable, capable human being; and seeing the fruits of your own labor helps build such knowledge.
