Canadian Jesuits International

Canadian Jesuits International Canadian Jesuits International (CJI), was founded by the Jesuits of Canada. We carry out educational advocacy in Canada, linked with our overseas work.

CJI is the international solidarity agency of the Jesuits of Canada that supports poor and marginalized people in Africa, Asia and Latin America in their struggle for a more just society through the work of Jesuits and other partners. We proclaim the Good News of justice and peace within the universal mission of the Society of Jesus. We support poor and marginalized peoples struggling for social j

ustice and dignity in the Global South. We presently work with Jesuit and other partners rooted in the Jesuit tradition in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean in the following areas: education and health; sustainable agriculture and livelihood support; human rights defence and community organizing; and forcibly displaced people and humanitarian action. Our educational advocacy draws upon an extensive network of Jesuit and other partners around the world to raise Canadians' awareness of the struggles and aspirations of people in the Global South.

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Xavier Network, which includes Canadian Jesuits International (CJI), has been providing life-saving support to thousands of forcibly displaced Ukrainians.
The Xavier Network works in tandem with the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) Europe, which provides relief efforts for Ukrainians remaining in Ukraine and those who have fled to neighbouring countries.
JRS offers support in areas such as housing, food, education, psycho-social support, language classes, livelihood support, and integration. In 2025, it served 22, 689 Ukrainians. Since the start of the conflict, JRS has served 822,948 individuals, according to its latest report.
This World Refugee Week, we are highlighting the fact that the humanitarian situation remains dire. The lives of an estimated 10.8 million people inside Ukraine, including 2.2 million children and 3.8 million remain in in danger, according to UNICEF. About 4.5 million Ukrainian refugees remain spread out across Europe.
