Campaign for Human Development

The Campaign for Human Development, initiated by the Catholic Church in the United States, aims to reduce poverty and promote social justice. It supports community-led programs that empower disadvantaged individuals and groups to improve their economic, social, and political conditions. By funding initiatives in education, housing, employment, and community organizing, the campaign seeks to foster sustainable change from within communities, emphasizing dignity, participation, and systemic reform rather than charity alone. Its goal is to create a more just and equitable society where every person has the opportunity to thrive.
