Mission of Goa and Daman: 

  • Providing community centers for tribal villages

  • Supporting missionaries throughout the Archdiocese

  • Assisting educational needs of students in hostels

Partnership for Progress

Catholic World Mission has partnered with The Archdiocese of Goa and Daman and the missionaries of St. Francis Xavier to provide social and spiritual uplift in often forgotten villages along the west coast of India.

 

Thousands of Indigenous people in more than 70 villages live without basic necessities such as sanitary water, electricity and proper bath facilities. Children are sent away at an early age to live in hostels in order to receive an education. We believe these people of God deserve a more dignified life. 

 

Everyone can make an impact: The gift of a simple community center can be a temple of hope. And just $20 can provide a month of missionary work in a tribal community. We invite you to explore more about our multi-faceted mission.

 

 

The Mission of Goa and Daman is geared toward providing social and spiritual uplift to the disadvantaged, including tribal communities along the west coast of India.

There are 72 tribal villages in the Nagar-Haveli and Daman regions, all of which are in dire need. The plan is to build 12 community centers, which will have generators for light and offer a place for families to pool resources and better their communities. 

The needs are vast in the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman. From missionary sponsorship to infrastructure support for schools and homes for the needy, we have an opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of people lacking basic needs.
