Franciscan Family Apostolate

The Franciscan Family Apostolate was founded as response of the Secular Franciscan Order (S.F.O.) to the plight of the poor in the Third World. Following its founder, Saint Francis of Assisi, the poor Christ is found in the faces and lives of the poor and oppressed of the world. The Franciscan Family Apostolate’s mission is to encourage a witness to the Gospel life preached by Jesus – the care and concern for the stranger in need regardless of race, color, religion or country of origin.
In 1987 the Franciscan Family Apostolate became an independent 501(c)3 charity upon receipt of its tax exempt status from the IRS with the following stated goals:
To alleviate poverty, provide financial support and assistance to needy individuals and families in the Third World through outreach programs and related activities;
To develop and implement similar outreach programs in the United States; Lastly, to develop and implement educational programs in Third World countries and in the United States to provide occupational training.

CATHOLIC WELFARE AND DEVELOPMENT

Catholic Welfare and Development is one of the largest and longest established NGOs [Non Governmental Organisations] in the country. We are also one of the most dynamic, with programmes that adapt and grow as circumstances change and new opportunities arise – a classic example being the Brand*New jeans project.
Our aim is to develop people to rise out of poverty, with the major focus being on development work. This we do through nine community development centres and a wide range of programmes which focus mainly on: Engaging with communities to build capacity and solve problems Women, Children and Youth Development Health and Food Security Economic Empowerment Wherever possible, we work with provincial and local government to refine service delivery to the poor, homeless, children and others.

DC Immunization Welfare Center

DC Immunization Welfare Center (DCIWC) shares the heartwarming feeling derived from helping poor children lead healthy lives. DCIWC received tax-exempt status in December 2003 and provided vaccinations to more than 750 children since December 2003. The purpose of the DC Immunization Welfare Center (DCIWC) is to provide vaccination not limited to measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), diphtheria, polio, tetanus (DPT), whooping cough, and hepatitis B, through organized events to poor and needy children free of cost who cannot otherwise afford them. DCIWC has initiated activities in the state of Bihar, India, where children rarely receive immunization due to poor economic conditions and lack of education. Knowledge of immunization is far beyond many parents in the poorer areas of India. The Washington Post recently reported that 57% of women in India give birth at home attended by untrained health care providers. DCIWC's goal is to reach out to those parents and educate them about the importance of vaccination. http://www.dciwc.org/index.html DC Immunization and Welfare Center Mailing Address: 12331 Quince Valley Drive, North Potomac, MD 20878 Phone Number: 301-990-9562
