THE RIGHTS OF RURAL AND PEASANT COMMUNITIES
Everywhere on Earth, and especially in the Global South, impoverished populations are facing growing challenges due to climate change, land grabbing, resource theft, soil contamination and armed conflict.
Rural populations are particularly affected by these upheavals, and Development and Peace — Caritas Canada supports them in defending their rights to life, land, water, biodiversity, justice, health, participation, decent livelihoods, a healthy environment and more.
Together, let’s Create Hope and work toward Reaping our Rights.
DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!
A great way to support us is to become a Share Year-Round monthly donor. Your recurring, predictable donations reduce our administrative costs and allow us to plan longer-term transformative work.
This Lent, start or increase your monthly donations any time between Ash Wednesday (February 14) and Pentecost (May 19) to have your total annual donation (or increase thereof) matched dollar for dollar!
This means that a monthly donation (or increase thereof) of $10 will be matched for $120, and Development and Peace ― Caritas Canada will receive a total of $240 over the year.
*This offer is valid until the matching fund of $160,000 endowed by some generous individuals and religious communities runs out.

Update from Gaza
Development and Peace ― Caritas Canada is raising funds for the Palestinian people besieged in the southern Gaza Strip, who are in urgent need of help.
Facing a near-total blockade and ongoing bombardment, our partner Caritas Jerusalem urgently needs help to provide food, water, shelter, hygiene kits, healthcare and psychosocial support to the wounded, the displaced and the bereaved.
So, as you join Pope Francis in praying that “weapons be silenced” and that “the cry for peace” is heeded, we invite you to give generously to help our sisters and brothers in Gaza.

GROW HOPE SASKATCHEWAN
There are 828 million people in our world who go hungry each day. As Catholics, we can act in solidarity through our local and faith-based fundraiser, Grow Hope Saskatchewan. Local SK farmers with your financial support grow crops for sale and give proceeds to those in need. It costs $350 to grow an acre of food. Funds raised through the sale of the crop fight hunger through emergency food relief, support for young mothers, and local agricultural projects. Donations of any amount are welcome. Write cheques to Development and Peace, 555 René-Lévesque Blvd West, 8th Floor, Montreal QC, H2Z 1B1 – please write in the Memo: “Grow Hope SK.” Click here to support the project online or visit www.growhopesk.ca for more info.
