Welcome to the 2020-2021 Gift of Hope Catalog
Celebrate by sending a life-saving gift to support our most vulnerable brothers and sisters in Latin America and around the world.
Too many children around the world don’t have access to quality health care. Routine health exams for children help monitor growth and development, and provide vaccinations to prevent disease. They also allow health care providers access to necessities, such as medical supplies, to diagnose and treat diseases, so that girls and boys have a better chance to lead healthy, happy lives.
Eggs and chickens provide lifesaving protein for families. Chickens are easy to raise in small yards and can generate added income.
When homes are badly damaged, Catholic Relief Services helps survivors make them temporarily livable until more permanent repairs or shelter can be provided. From the immediate aftermath of an emergency, CRS works with communities with the goal of moving from relief to sustainable recovery.
In the places Catholic Relief Services works, many families have to pay for their children’s education, which often includes tuition, school supplies and uniforms. Providing a school uniform will get a child off to a fresh start and free up family resources for other expenses, like tuition and books.
A stocked fish pond means that a high-protein dinner is just a catch away. Catholic Relief Services helps families stock ponds that feed their families—even when crops fail. Fish also provide another source of income for farmers and better nutrition for the entire community.
