Canadian Jesuits International supports the Jesuit Migration Network (RJM) which  offers humanitarian relief and accompaniment to vulnerable migrants and refugees from the Americas and other parts of the world.

The network provides food, medication, shelter, psychosocial support, and legal advice to thousands of people fleeing conflict, violence, human rights violations, and economic and political crises. The network also defends their rights through advocacy, in keeping with the Jesuit commitment to “promote compassionate and humane policies that honour the dignity of every person.”

CJI currently funds a project that will enhance regional cooperation across the Americas to provide sustainable, dignified care for forcibly displaced migrants. It will directly assist 500 migrant women, children, and adolescents in "critical chokepoints"  along the migratory route: Uruguay, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, and Brazil. They will receive humanitarian support, including food, hygiene kits, shelter, legal aid, and psychosocial care. 

Migrants in the Americas lack access to basic human rights and face discrimination. This has been exacerbated by the tightening immigration policies of the United States and Mexico and the increasingly complex cross-border refugee application procedures in Mexico and in Central America.

Please join Canadian Jesuits International in supporting RJM's efforts to assist vulnerable women, men and children.
