Our mission

Our mission is to walk with the poor and marginalized of the world.

• We provide personal attention and direct benefits to children, youth, aging and their families so they may live with dignity, achieve their desired potential and participate fully in society.
• We invite people of good will to live in daily solidarity with the world’s poor through one-to-one sponsorship.
• We build community by fostering relationships of mutual respect, understanding and support that are culturally diverse, empowering and without religious or other prejudice.

Grounded in the Gospel call to serve the poor, CFCA is a lay Catholic organization working with persons of all faith traditions to create a worldwide community of compassion and service.

Our core values

We are grounded in the Gospel call to serve the poor.

Honesty and transparency are necessary to operate an efficient and effective organization.

Recognizing the God-given dignity of each person is essential to sincere, lasting, loving relationships.

A relationship of mutual respect between sponsor and sponsored person is central to CFCA's mission.
