Decades of hardship, including a civil war, the HIV/AIDS crisis and multiple natural disasters. To understand how Catholics can be part of the solution to poverty in Mozambique, we must examine the challenges poor families face daily.

The orphan crisis is overwhelming, but Christ’s love is greater. The Catholic Church has a rich tradition of caring for orphans, widows and those in need. Cross Catholic Outreach is empowering their partners to rescue and serve children longing for a family.

Many orphans in Mozambique have been left to fend for themselves, often begging on the streets or working odd jobs to survive. See how Cross Catholic Outreach is shining the light of Christ into these dark situations.

Positive life transformations are possible when both spiritual and material help are provided to the poor. See how Caminando por la Paz is shining the light of Christ into dark situations in Guatemala City.

By supporting missions serving orphans and vulnerable children, you declare the love of Christ to those in need. Discover our programs that care for children in poverty.
