Outreach to the Caribbean
 |
When Cross was founded, our initial work began in Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere—yet only 90 miles from Miami, in one of the richest countries in the world. Since then, work has extended to eight other Caribbean countries, where Cross continues to have an impact on poverty.
In this region, rates of infant mortality, illiteracy, malnourishment, and preventable diseases soar—and food, healthcare, education and employment are scarce. So Cross partners with Christian ministries throughout the Caribbean to fill the gap.
Outreach efforts include providing...
- food for hungry families and schoolchildren
- literacy for underprivileged women
- medicines and supplies to hospitals
- care and education for orphans and other vulnerable children
- water supplies (wells, aqueducts) to parched villages
- housing for the homeless
- micro-enterprise programs for poor families
- emergency relief from natural disasters
...and many other projects and programs to relieve suffering and raise the quality of life for the poor in the Caribbean.
Please pray for the plight of the poor throughout the Caribbean. And please consider taking action to help—with a gift to Cross International Catholic Outreach.
