The regional meeting of young people from Indigenous communities in Latin America, hosted by the Indigenous Solidarity and Apostolate Network (RSAI) of the 
Conference of Jesuit Provincials in Latin America and the Caribbean (CPAL), a CJI partner, is now underway in Cusco, Peru. 

CJI Outreach Coordinator Juan Camilo Poveda is attending the assembly, which aims to understand the current realities of Indigenous young people "through their own voices." The process of consultation will include moments and spaces for reflection, conversations and other forms of participation. 

"The purpose is to gather intergenerational perspectives on identity, cultural changes, community life, current challenges, and expectations about the future of the territories," said RSAI.

On the International Day of Peace, Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) highlights the role played by its Jesuit partners in promoting a culture of safety, dignity, respect for human rights, and cooperation.
In Chiapas, Mexico, the Indigenous Rights Centre (CEDIAC) is training Tseltal communities in Indigenous normative system and leadership to strengthen peace and stability their communities. This means following traditional practices of governance, including conflict resolution.
The CJI-supported initiative combines a diploma course in Indigenous normative system, coordinated meetings among social, political, and church actors, and youth-led actions to strengthen access to justice within the community. In a region deeply affected by violence and institutional breakdown, these efforts help restore the social fabric by reaffirming Tseltal values and traditions. 
Young participants describe the workshops as transformative, motivating them to take on leadership roles and share their knowledge. 
As  UN Secretary-General António Guterres reminds us in his message marking this day, “peace isn’t just built in conference rooms—it is shaped by everyone, everywhere, every day.”
This year’s theme, Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day, “ honours the 'everyday architects of peace'—people driving local action, laying the groundwork for stability, and building a lasting peace from the ground up.”

CJI Executive Director Jenny Cafiso and International Programs Coordinator Juan Emilio Hernandez today visited the office of Service Jésuite aux Migrants (SJM)/Jesuit Service for Migrants – Haiti, where CJI supports a project that provides humanitarian support for Haitian refugees and migrants. 

Jenny and Juan also visited a reception centre that provides food, temporary shelter, hygiene kits, transportation support, and legal and accompaniment services to people repatriated from the Dominican Republic. “It was heartbreaking to hear their testimonies, struggles, and the reasons why they were forced to leave and seek a better life,” said Juan. He added that SJM provides assistance that enables people to return home with dignity.

During their meeting Fr. Germain Clerveau, SJ, SJM Director, mentioned that SM is planning an agroecological project aimed at improving the lives of Haitians and reducing outward migration.

On the International Day of Democracy, September 15, Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) stands in solidarity with its partners in the Global South who are working to strengthen people’s participation in governance and development , ensuring that the voices of those who are most excluded, are heard. 

CJI supports Jesuit-led projects that promote good governance, freedom of expression, access to human rights, justice, peace, and the rights of Indigenous Peoples. At a time when democracy is under threat worldwide, their initiatives are more important than ever.

Among them is a project by the Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) in Zambia, which works to strengthen the capacity of local citizens to advocate for good governance, transparency and accountability at all levels of government. 

JCTR conducts awareness raising and advocacy training workshops on human rights-based approach to development and Catholic Social Teaching, and on social accountability tools. It also organizes dialogues between communities and government representatives. 

In a statement marking International Day of Democracy, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized “the importance of bringing together people from across societies to enrich decision making, foster trust, and build more peaceful, inclusive, and resilient societies.”

Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) Executive Director Jenny Cafiso and International Programs Coordinator Juan Emilio Hernandez  are travelling in Haiti to visit Jesuit-led projects supported by CJI. Over the weekend, they visited 17 of 120 houses that were built through a project funded with the support of CJI, the Xavier Network (of which CJI is a member), the La Conferencia de Provinciales Jesuitas en America Latina y Caribe (CPAL), the Jesuit Province of the Antilles, and other donors. The houses were built as part of the reconstruction efforts of Jesuits in Haiti after the 2021 earthquake. Jenny and Juan visited the homes located in the Ducis and Grand'Anse departments. “The families consist primarily of female heads of household who, despite the multiple difficulties they face regarding access to basic services such as water and electricity, were very grateful and hospitable,” said Juan.
