Franciscan Aid is a Charitable Trust of the Third Order, Society of Saint Francis (TSSF) It works through Franciscans on the ground across the world to relieve poverty and advance access to education, primarily in the world’s poorest countries, where the needs may not be covered by other international agencies.
Franciscan Aid is committed to encouraging projects to ensure that all vulnerable groups of people are protected and supported in accordance with the commitment of the Anglican (Episcopal) Church Worldwide.
We are concerned that all people who are supported by our grant aid, especially children, and vulnerable adults, are treated with respect and actively protected from abusive behaviour of any kind.
Please check with your local Diocese and the Country in which you work for what their requirements are, and ensure you comply with them.
Thank you for looking after those you are supporting, through caring for those in need.
A Prayer for Franciscan Aid
Heavenly Father, we are reminded in the Principles that Our Lord Jesus Christ came to serve others, and that Tertiaries’ chief form of service is to reflect the love of Christ. As St Francis vowed to follow His Lord, grant us the strength to work for the relief of pain and suffering, sharing the generosity of our Sisters and Brothers with integrity, care and love. Amen
