We asked for justice, and you called us to be just and to lead with integrity.
Lord, we have received nothing that we asked for or wanted.
And yet, we received everything that we needed.
For this, we give thanks." -- Dr. Colleen Hanycz, president of Xavier University, OhioCanadian Jesuits International (CJI) thanks you, our faithful supporters and friends, for sharing our vision of a world of peace, justice and integrity of creation, transformed through active commitment and finding God in all things.#thanksgiving #Canada #Jesuits #justice #peace

When a group of rural women in El Salvador could not get loans from mainstream banks, they decided to invest in themselves.They took what little money they had and formed a savings and credit group. With the support of Solidaridad CVX, the local social centre that is part of the Comparte network, the women received training and were able to form a cooperative to produce chicken feed.The women also received gender-transformative learning as part of the training. "We could see how they value themselves, they are empowered and self-sufficient," noted Juan Emilio Hernandez, coordinator of international programs for Canadian Jesuits International (CJI), who visited the women's cooperative with CJI Executive Director Jenny Cafiso and members of Comparte.Comparte is a network of the Conference of the Jesuit Provincials of Latin America and the Caribbean (CPAL) that includes 16 different social justice organizations in 11 countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru and Spain. The network is holding its annual meeting in El Salvador, September 23-27.CJI supports Comparte, whose members are committed to sharing resources and techniques for implementing alternative and supportive socio-economic models in their respective countries.Learn more about Comparte: Go to link in bio, click Programs.#Jesuits #LatinAmerica #socialjustice #dignity #dogood

Access to information - defined by the United Nations as the right to seek, receive and impart information held by public authorities - is essential to democracy.For this reason, our Jesuit partners in Honduras, Radio Progreso and ERIC (Reflection, Investigation and Communications Team), are committed to informing Hondurans about the social, economic and political issues that affect them and to making them aware of their human rights.The work of Radio Progreso-ERIC takes place in the context of widespread poverty, inequality, violence and corruption in Honduras.Just this week, a Honduran environmental activist was killed while driving home from church. Juan Lopez, who served as a city councilman in Tocoa, was an outspoken critic of mining and thermoelectric projects in Honduras. He was also an active member of his local Catholic community and a member of the National Apostolic Council of the Society of Jesus in Honduras.In addition to grassroots radio programming, Radio Progreso-ERIC is involved in community organizing and empowerment, human rights training, capacity building, and leadership training for social change.Learn more about these and other CJI-supported projects: Go to the link in the bio and click on International Programs
