The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is the national anti-poverty and social justice program of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). CCHD was begun in 1969 as the "National Catholic Crusade Against Poverty" by the Catholic bishops in the United States, in part as a response to Pope Paul VI's encyclical ''Populorum progressio'' ("The Progress of Peoples"). CCHD's mission is "to address the root causes of poverty in America through promotion and support of community-controlled self-help organizations and through transformative social justice, education, and solidarity between poor and non-poor." 〔(CCHD Annual Report 2007 )〕 CCHD is supported by an annual collection in U.S. Catholic parishes, and individual donations. ==Projects== By means of annual grants provided in collaboration with local dioceses, CCHD funds community initiatives meant to overcome the root causes of poverty. Through its community development program, CCHD funds low-income community organizations working to address the structural causes of injustice, such as the need for immigration reform, economic justice, criminal justice reform, access to health care and education, and environmental justice. Through its economic development program, CCHD works to empower community-based initiatives such as land trusts, cooperatives, credit unions, business development and job training programs, and social purpose businesses. Examples of CCHD's grant making can be found on its educational website, www.povertyusa.org. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catholic Campaign for Human Development」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
