CRS Gifts of Hope

‘In the roughest moments, remember: God is our Father; God does not abandon his children.’ —Pope Francis Today, December 17, is the 80th birthday of Pope Francis. And what more appropriate gift for a man who cares so much about the youth of our world than to give HOPE for children today? Hope in the form of vaccinations, so children can grow up healthy. Hope in the form of classroom desks, to help students succeed in school. Hope in the form of protection, so youth who have survived trafficking receive the support to recover and thrive. Would you give one of these unique gifts in honor of Pope Francis today?

$40 buys a flock of chickens, which both generates income and provides lifesaving protein for families.

$80 buys a lamb or kid, which is a daily source of nutritious milk, helps farm families provide their children with well-rounded diets, and increase incomes.

$100 provides classroom desks for 13 children, giving students clean and comfortable places to learn.

$150 gives 10 vaccinations to children, preventing childhood disease and death.

$250 provides protection for a trafficked child, including counseling and support to help them recover.

$300 purchases a cow, which brings nutrition, income and added stability to a family, even when crops fail.

$1300 buys a community watering station, bringing water to a central location so families can collect water quickly, freeing up time for children to attend school.
