Solidarity will transform the World

Stories of Hope from Catholic Relief Services

by Jeffry Odell Korgen

The incredible story of what can happen when the resources of the Catholic Church come together with the resources - both spiritual and physical- of people living in poverty around the world. 

The values of solidarity and human dignity incorporated in Catholic social teaching come to life through stories of people served by Catholic Relief Services.  Through CRS programmes of micro-credit in Mexico and India, men and women develop their skills and establish small businesses that create jobs for others.  In Zambia, people learn to become caregivers to those with HIV/AIDS.  In Rwanda, they learn to become peacemakers.  In Nicaragua, hope is gained through the production of Fair Trade certified coffee.
