Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor
In the Maasai community of southern Kenya, protecting girls’ human rights is a challenge. Female genital mutilation (FGM) and forced early marriage are deeply rooted cultural customs that many young girls must undergo — even though FGM is illegal in the country.
These dangerous and degrading practices are harmful to young women, so Church leaders have created support programs to help. At the Marie Adelaide Girls Rescue Center, vulnerable young women can be provided with shelter, food, counseling and the opportunity to attend a local school — but to succeed with this mission of mercy, the Center needs your help. Please give today to provide these young women with a path to greater opportunities and hope!
In everything we do, we remain focused on the Lord, serving with humility, fervor and love, and advancing Catholic evangelization. We work in partnership with church-based ministries and other faith-based organizations, creating and ideal synergy for the greatest impact.
Giving monthly is a small way to have a big impact. Your regular support empowers our ministry to respond to urgent needs and fulfill our long-term projects across the world.

At Cross Catholic, we meticulously honor the intent of our donors. All proceeds are restricted for the specific project for which they are raised. In that rare event that more funds are received than are required for a specific project, the additional funds will be used to meet the most urgent needs.
Proceeds from this campaign will be used to cover any expenditures incurred through June 30, 2024, the close of our ministry’s fiscal year. In the event that more funds are raised than needed to fully fund the project, the excess funds, if any, will be used to meet the most urgent needs of the ministry.
Our mission is to mobilize the global Catholic Church to transform the poor and their communities materially and spiritually for the glory of Jesus Christ. Your gift empowers us to serve the poorest of the poor by channeling life-changing aid through an international network of dioceses, parishes and Catholic missionaries. This cost-effective approach helps break the cycle of poverty and advance Catholic evangelization.
