Appel à l’humanité : soutenir les programmes essentiels des Jésuites

Appel à l’humanité : soutenir les programmes essentiels des Jésuites

Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) reçoit des dons pour le travail critique de deux partenaires jésuites qui ont été affectés par le gel sans précédent des dépenses d’aide étrangère décrété par le gouvernement américain le 24 janvier 2025.
Au moins neuf projets du Service jésuite des réfugiés, qui permettent de sauver des vies, ont été interrompus à la suite de cette décision, affectant plus de 100 000 personnes qui ont été contraintes de quitter leur foyer dans neuf pays. Fe y Alegria, qui soutient des programmes d’alimentation scolaire et apporte un soutien psychosocial dans cinq pays, a également été touché.

« L’Afrique du Sud, la Colombie, le Salvador, l’Éthiopie, le Honduras, l’Inde, l’Irak, le Paraguay, l’Ouganda, le Soudan du Sud, la Thaïlande et le Tchad sont les pays où nous avons été contraints de suspendre des activités essentielles. L’impact est dévastateur », indique une lettre d’appel commune du JRS et de Fe y Alegria. « Comment expliquer à une mère en détresse au Sud Soudan que nous ne pouvons plus lui fournir de soutien psychologique en pleine guerre ? Comment pouvons-nous mettre fin aux programmes de repas scolaires dans les écoles du Paraguay ? Comment justifier la suspension d’un programme de formation pour de jeunes réfugiés en Ouganda quelques mois avant leur diplôme? Comment pouvons-nous accepter la fermeture de nos écoles au Salvador et au Tchad, et renvoyer les enfants dans leur pays d’origine ?
Le SJR et Fe y Alegría ont tous deux demandé une dérogation, à la suite de l’annonce du Département d’État selon laquelle, pendant une période d’examen de 90 jours, il autoriserait temporairement les dépenses d’« aide humanitaire vitale », telles que les médicaments, les services médicaux, la nourriture, les abris et la subsistance.
Nous ne savons pas encore si le Département d’État leur accordera cette dérogation, ni ce qui se passera après l’échéance de la période d’examen de 90 jours. Avant la suspension de l’aide étrangère, le Bureau de la Population, des Réfugiés et des Migrations (PRM) du Département d’Etat fournissait une subvention annuelle de 18 millions de dollars aux projets du JRS ; Fe y Alegria recevait une subvention annuelle de 1,2 million de dollars de l’Agence américaine pour le développement international (USAID).

Canadian Jesuits International et les membres du Réseau Xavier (dont CJI fait partie) contribuent à cet effort.
En tant que canadiens, nous parlons beaucoup dernièrement de ce qu’il faut pour être de bons voisins et alliés. À CJI, nous croyons que nos frères et sœurs du monde entier sont aussi nos voisins. Soutiendrez-vous nos voisins qui sont confrontés à la fermeture d’écoles et de cliniques avec la suspension de ces programmes vitaux ?

On World Youth Skills Day, July 15, Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) celebrates the contributions that young people make in shaping a better world for all. CJI also supports initiatives to equip young people with the skills they need for dignified employment, entrepreneurship, and full participation in the economic, political, and cultural life of society.

CJI highlights its support for a project by Fe y Alegría that aims to improve access to fair and decent employment for at-risk and vulnerable youth across Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Cuba. 

The project provides participants with training programs that align with current labour market demands and that actively transform their lives and their communities. The program also includes career orientation, vocational testing, job fairs, internships with private sector employers and professional employment placement within 17 designated Fe y Alegría education centres.

Founded in 1955 by Jesuit priest José María Vélaz, SJ, Fe y Alegría is a federation of local educational institutions that provides education to marginalized populations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 

According to the UNESCO, the theme of this year’s observance of World Youth Skills Day, Skills for a shared future, focuses on “the need to develop innovative youth skills that prepare young people to successfully participate in societies and economies, where they can lead with empathy, communicate across cultures, build resilience and contribute to a better future.”

Young people “need more than technical skills alone,” said UNESCO, citing how artificial intelligence, the green transition and rapid societal shifts are changing the nature of work. “They need a balanced set of competencies that combines technical, digital, AI, green, socio-emotional and civic skills with the human qualities that technology cannot replace.”

CJI Executive Director Jenny Cafiso and International Programs Coordinator Juan Emilio Hernandez are attending an assembly in Chile of the network of social centers of the Conferencia de Provinciales Jesuitas de America (CPAL; Conference of Jesuit Provincials of America). 

The meeting aims to create a framework that situates them “within a culture of encounter in the current context based on dialogue, reconciliation and peace.” Participants will also exchange ideas on how to clarify their organizations’ role in “influencing the strengthening of democracy and the global Ignatian Advocacy Network.” Attendees will also have an opportunity to visit CPAL-supported social programs. 

Jenny and Juan will also have a chance to meet with some CJI partners who are attending the assembly.

Your donations to the Venezuelan earthquake relief efforts are making a tangible difference.
Here are some photos of the vital work being done by our Jesuit partners — @jrs_venezuela, @feyalegriave and more — on the ground.  Beyond distributing essential relief items, teams are providing temporary shelter, critical psychosocial support, and more to families navigating this crisis. But the needs remain immense.
Tens of thousands of Venezuelans are still facing uncertainty and profound loss. Homes have been destroyed, livelihoods disrupted, and entire communities are struggling to recover from the shock of this life-changing disaster.
They still need us. Please consider donating to CJI's humanitarian relief fund today to help them rebuild: Click link in bio.

Happy International Day of Cooperatives! 

On this special day, Canadian Jesuits International reaffirms its support for the democratic ownership model, which allows people to come together in solidarity to build sustainable enterprises that meet their needs and support their communities. 

CJI highlights the role that its long-time Jesuit partner, Comparte, plays in building alternative and supportive socio-economic models in 11 countries:Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru and Spain. 

Comparte (meaning “to share”) is a network of the Jesuit Conference of Provincials in Latin America and the Caribbean (CPAL), which believes that the world can and should be changed so that everyone, especially the poor and marginalized, can enjoy the benefits of a just and sustainable economy. 

Its current project aims to improve the sustainability of 116 economic initiatives managed by producer organizations involved in diverse industries, including agriculture (coffee, cocoa, honey), livestock (poultry, guinea pigs), services (savings/credit groups, sustainable tourism), and manufacturing (textiles, footwear). Click link in bio to visit our website and learn more. 

The theme of this year’s celebration, “Cooperatives for a Peaceful World,” recognizes the contribution of cooperative enterprises to social justice, inclusion, and solidarity. 

Cooperatives are people-centred institutions that can foster trust, reinforce social cohesion, and unite communities around common needs and aspirations, says the UN. 

In a world characterized by conflict, inequality, polarization and declining trust, the theme is a reminder that peace requires more than the absence of violence; it also calls for inclusion, fairness, dialogue and economic security, says the UN.

CJI calls on Canada to empower corporate watchdog, not scrap it
[Take Action: Click link in bio]

Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) joins the Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability (CNCA) in expressing deep concern over the Government of Canada’s decision to eliminate the Office of the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE). 

As a member of the CNCA, CJI has long advocated for stronger measures to ensure that Canadian companies respect human rights and the environment wherever they operate. This commitment is rooted in the experiences of our Jesuit partners and the communities they serve in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Some of them have witnessed the devastating impacts of irresponsible extractive projects first-hand, while others have suffered as a result of them, experiencing displacement, environmental degradation, the loss of livelihoods, and violence. 

Although CJI and other civil society organizations have long criticized the CORE’s lack of independence and investigatory powers, eliminating the office is not the answer. Instead, its mandate should be strengthened, and it should be provided  with the necessary tools to investigate allegations of abuse and hold Canadian corporations accountable for their actions. 

Together with our partners and fellow members of the CNCA, we call on the Government of Canada to reinstate the CORE and equip the office with the tools and independence it needs to effectively serve people whose human and environmental rights have been violated due to unjust and irresponsible practices by Canadian companies. 

We invite our supporters to join us in urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to reinstate the CORE, this time with the powers and independence it has always needed.

This commitment is rooted in the experiences of our Jesuit partners and the communities they serve in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Some of them have witnessed the devastating impacts of irresponsible extractive projects first-hand, while others have suffered as a result of them, experiencing displacement, environmental degradation, the loss of livelihoods, and violence. Although CJI and other civil society organizations have long criticized the CORE’s lack of independence and investigatory powers, eliminating the office is not the answer. Instead, its mandate should be strengthened, and it should be provided with the necessary tools to investigate allegations of abuse and hold Canadian corporations accountable for their actions. Together with our partners and fellow members of the CNCA, we call on the Government of Canada to reinstate the CORE and equip the office with the tools and independence it needs to effectively serve people whose human and environmental rights have been violated due to unjust and irresponsible practices by Canadian companies. We invite our supporters to join us in urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to reinstate the CORE, this time with the powers and independence it has always needed.

Canadian Jesuits International is supporting a project by the Jesuit Refugee Service  in South Sudan that will improve the mental health, psycho-social well-being, and resilience of 7,273 refugees and returnees from Sudan, as well as members of communities that host them in Renk and Maban. 

A,mong others, the project will help make it easier for 1,241 children from refugee and host communities to access education. It will also ensure that 1,780 people displaced by the conflict in Sudan are protected and supported through various mental health and psycho-social support services. 

The Sudan conflict, now entering its fourth year, has been described by the United Nations as “the world’s largest humanitarian and displacement crisis.” It has left nearly 34 million people, or 65% of the population, “in urgent need of humanitarian support,” said the UN. Around 14 million people have been forced to leave their homes, with 4.4 million of them crossing into neighbouring countries such as South Sudan, Chad, and Egypt.

Our Jesuit partners in Venezuela have sent us more videos showing the extent of the destruction following the deadly earthquakes on June 24. 
The Jesuit Refugee Service, Fe y Alegría and other Jesuit organisations are on the ground, providing emergency support to those affected by the earthquakes. This includes temporary shelter, essential relief items, protection services and psychosocial support. 
We are still accepting donations to support these efforts in northern Venezuela. Click the link in our bio (Venezuela Humanitarian Relief) to donate now.

Our partners have worked in Venezuela for many years, building experienced teams and well-established networks of people who are already responding to the emergency.
