“Together in…” Our Campaigns
‘The children are excited about what we can do to improve the lives of other children around the world. Resources are excellent.’
Class teacher, Birmingham Archdiocese.
Misssion Together does a great deal of humanitarian work but our purpose is more than humanitarian aid or development. It is missionary; supporting the spiritual as well as physical well-being of children. Overseas we are often known by our original name Holy Childhood.
Each year Mission Together highlights one of our many projects supporting children across the world. This year’s Together in Jordan campaign, focuses on Sandra, a pupil at the Marka School for Refugees. Click here to find out more.
With the help of children fundraising in England and Wales, Mission Together is able to support projects like schools, orphanages, street shelters, clinics and feeding programmes run by the Catholic Church in 159 countries. That’s over 1,000 mission dioceses worldwide!
Using the Church’s network makes Mission Together effective, far-reaching and secure. Aid is given where it is needed most and local needs are decided on a local level. With Mission Together’s support, local communities overseas take ownership of their project and ultimately become self-sustaining.
Being universal in character, Mission Together projects tend to the needs of all, regardless of background or beliefs; exemplifying the all-embracing nature of the Catholic Church.
