JEO
To work for reconciliation every day — with God, with human beings and with the environment.
Justice and
Ecology Office
Of Africa
The Jesuit mission is a mission of reconciliation, working so that women and men can be reconciled with God, with themselves, with each other and with God’s creation. The mission for reconciliation is three-fold: with God, with humanity and with creation. While we speak of three forms of reconciliation, all three are truly one work of God, interconnected and inseparable.
The JEO Secretariat will serve as a unified Secretariat that coordinates justice and ecology efforts across the Conference, guided by the principle of subsidiarity and inclusive collaboration with a wide range of ministries. The Secretariat seeks to strengthen the integration of justice and ecology within Jesuit networks, enhance accompaniment and support for local Jesuit ministries within Africa and Madagascar and deepen strategic collaboration with key partners.
Our Strategy
Spells out our ambition for the next five years to contribute to the fight against the injustice of poverty.
Our strategic plan, seeks to build on the gains made so far in making our own contribution to various efforts to reduce poverty in Africa. Further, we endeavour to ensure that those who emerge out of poverty do so permanently and achieve sustainable wellbeing.
Guided by our preferential option for the poor, in our efforts we will make every effort to find ways to reach the extremely poor people living at the edge of survival.
The JENA Strategic Plan is built around six thematic areas of strategic focus.
We recognize that:
- Governance and Inclusive Political Participation.
- Rethinking African Development.
- Peace, Security and Sustainable Development.
- Responsible Business & Corporate Accountability.
- Domestic Resource Mobilisation.
- Climate Justice and Sustainable Food.
Select Payment Method
Pay by bank transfer
If you wish to make a donation by direct bank transfer please contact Fr Paul Hamill SJ treasurer@jesuits.africa. Fr Paul will get in touch with you about the best method of transfer for you and share account details with you. Donations can be one-off gifts or of any frequency; for example, you might wish to become a regular monthly donor of small amounts; that sort of reliable income can allow for very welcome forward planning in the development of the Society’s works in Africa and Madagascar.
Often it is easier to send a donation to an office within your own country and Fr Paul can advise on how that might be done. In some countries this kind of giving can also be recognised for tax relief and the necessary receipts will be issued.
