The Catholic Campaign for Human Development is the domestic anti-poverty, social justice program of the U.S. Catholic Bishops. Its mission is to address the root causes of poverty in America through promotion and support of community-controlled, self-help organizations and through transformative education. CCHD accomplishes this mission by (1) collecting and allocating funding to projects that address the root causes of poverty through institutional change efforts and (2) through its education activities for parishes and the Catholic Community.
