The Board of Trustees of Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) recently approved 13 new projects that range from addressing gender-based violence in Kenya’s Kangemi slums to strengthening the leadership of Indigenous people in Latin America who defend their ancestral territories and culture.
The projects, totaling $411,673, will be implemented by CJI Jesuit partners in India, the Dominican Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, Cambodia, Honduras, Kenya, and in Latin America and the Caribbean region.
The projects address issues related to the right to education, human rights and democratic participation, ecology and sustainability, the rights of forcibly displaced people, and emergencies and humanitarian assistance.
