Our Mission
Our mission is to alleviate material and spiritual poverty by empowering the poor and sharing the Gospel of Christ, and we can’t do it without you. Giving to Catholic charities for the poor such as Catholic World Mission can help you share your own love of God and ensure your donation makes the most significant impact around the world.
Who Are We?
Catholic World Mission was founded in 1998. We are the hands, feet, and eyes of Christ to impoverished children and families. We work to support the mission of the Catholic Church to empower the poor and spread the Gospel.
Many Catholic organizations help the poor, but we take a long-term view of projects to form relationships with the communities we help. Our goal is to go beyond charity to give disadvantaged individuals a leg up instead of simply a handout.
Our Current Projects
We are a worldwide Catholic church charity with multiple projects you can choose to support. Help us change the world by supporting our projects. Scroll through some examples below:
Give the Gift of a Mano Amiga Scholarship
The Mano Amiga School Program is a beacon of hope for children around the world as they pave a path out of poverty for themselves and their families. Help these students attend a Mano Amiga school to make this path possible for them.
Restart Life-Saving Feeding Program
On top of the recent earthquake that destroyed everything they own, the Sisters are struggling to feed many impoverished children that live in the remote Viloux area of Haiti. We can relieve the Sisters of this heavy burden by restarting their Nutritional Feeding Program that will be able to feed 300 children.
Building a School and Better Opportunities
In Oyede, Nigeria there are over 250 students that are paving the way to a brighter future. You can support these students by renovating the worn-down church they learn at into a fully functional school. Help these children who face harsh realities be able to have the chance to be nurtured and encouraged to follow their dreams.
Support the Seminarians
Together we have the opportunity to assist 50 seminarians this year as they train to fulfill the divine calling of Holy Orders. By helping them achieve their callings we are strengthening churches and communities around the world.
Building St. Joseph's Way

Supply the precious gift of clean water
So many children in Ndekesha community are deprived of even a basic education because they spend so many hours fetching water just to survive. You can provide safe clean water for life.
