Responding to the cries of a hungry and hurting
world, hundreds of heroic missionaries in impoverished countries turn to
us for a helping hand. In their efforts to liberate destitute people
from the effects of abject poverty, those devoted apostles of Christ
bring to our attention a wide variety of relief and development
projects. We in turn invite compassionate hearts to become that 'helping
hand'. The chain of human solidarity, which starts with caring donors,
is continued undiminished by The Call of the Poor.
Since its
inception in 1982, every cent received from donors has been used exclusively
for the well-being of the poor. In 2018, we were able to disburse $426,800.00
to fund 102 projects in 24 Third World countries. As for our expenses (stationery,
postage, etc.), these were absorbed by a special fund created for
that purpose.
Through the compassion of our precious supporters, to
whom we are most grateful, we
have been able to alleviate the suffering of the
poor and bring a ray of hope into their lives... by funding 6,671
projects between 1982 and the end of 2018.
