Poverty, a harsh reality for many, means not having enough resources for a decent life. Addressing this issue is crucial as it’s a barrier to health, education, and opportunities. By tackling poverty, we create a fairer society where everyone has the chance to thrive, breaking the cycle for a brighter future.

In the fight against poverty, the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) stands as a dedicated ally. CAFOD goes beyond providing aid, actively working to empower communities and break the systemic roots of poverty. Their impactful initiatives exemplify a commitment to building a world where everyone can escape the grips of poverty and experience a better quality of life.

As CAFOD continues its tireless efforts to combat poverty, attention shifts to their upcoming fundraising event, “The Big Lent Walk 2024.” Supporters and advocates are invited to participate in this significant initiative, a testament to CAFOD’s dedication to fostering sustainable change. “The Big Lent Walk 2024” promises a meaningful journey, with all proceeds directly contributing to CAFOD’s mission of alleviating poverty and creating a more just and equitable world.
