Where we work
Jesuit Worldwide Learning engages in crisis-affected regions with the forcibly displaced, Indigenous, and other excluded and oppressed communities (socioeconomic, religious, political, cultural, gender), including persons with physical disabilities. In collaboration with local partners, JWL works in some of the world’s most marginalised communities, in contexts such as refugee camps, remote areas, and underserved regions across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, South America, and Europe.
