Help Build Strong Catholic Families, Rooted in Faith

MEXICO

The core of society is a strong, two-parent family. Too often, we see children growing up in poverty because their fathers are not involved in their lives.

Together, we will ensure all children can recognize their value and dream big.

That’s why Catholic World Mission is partnering with the Lumen Institute to invest in an increase in marriages, mentorship for children, and the engagement of fathers. Lumen is a Catholic organization for business and societal leaders. Its Plan 2040 is designed to ensure that every child born in the town of Cuatro Ciénegas, México, from Jan. 1, 2017, onward can lead a fulfilling life and break the cycle of poverty. Of the 1,400 families in the program, 60% are missing fathers. They are stuck in poverty, and the boys do not have the strong male role models they need. Your gift today will help us engage with fathers to come back to their families and help us develop a mentorship program for the boys without fathers. Together, we will ensure all children can recognize their value and dream big. We’ll empower children to respond to their call from God and trace the path of their full vocation. Over the past seven years, Plan 2040 has made 64,217 home visits and accompanied 1,358 children, helping to transform their futures. We’ve seen this program get real results. Will you bless more poor children and families with your life-changing support today
