Dignified Living

When you donate to Dignified Living, your money is used to support priests, missionaries and laypeople who work with their communities worldwide to provide food assistance services for adults and children, construction of safe structures and medical support to those who live in poverty. As we address their physical needs, we’re better able to share the Gospel and invest in their spiritual futures.

When you look at the poverty that exists around us, it can be easy to wonder how your gift is being used. But God can use even the smallest acts of kindness and faith in incredible ways. With your donation, you can:

• Fight physical poverty: Each gift is stretched to its maximum value to have the highest impact. We do this by connecting with the community in need, as well as other people or organizations invested in the area. Every dollar you give goes directly toward the goal of ongoing self-sufficiency by providing education and addressing physical and spiritual needs that reduce local poverty.
• Reach the world for Christ: By giving to a Catholic poverty charity, you provide more than physical provisions. You ensure the Gospel is spread to “every nation, tribe, people and language” as God has called us. While we’ll never discriminate based on a person’s religion, we’ll also never distribute aid without also sharing our faith. Our money and physical support are used as an investment in the spiritual lives of those we help.
• Honor God’s call to give: God has blessed us with gifts beyond our imagination. Many people find the best way to express their gratitude and their love of God is to give to the poor — especially through an organization that addresses both physical and spiritual needs.

When you donate to a Catholic poverty organization like Catholic World Mission, the dollars you give go directly to the communities we help and will make a physical and spiritual difference in the lives of those in need. We’ll even connect you to the people your money was used to serve through regular project updates, pictures and videos, so you can see how your donation is really making a difference.

We encourage you to donate to Dignified Living in support of Christ-centered organizations meeting basic human needs. And, above all, we hope you’ll support us in prayer as we bring the message of Jesus to a world in need of hope.
