Centro Santa Catalina
Since its founding in 1996 by Sisters Donna Kustusch and Eleanor Stech, Centro Santa Catalina (CSC) has been a beacon of hope for women and children living in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. In a community nestled on the site of a former municipal garbage dump, CSC embodies a powerful commitment to uplifting those facing the harsh realities of poverty and social marginalization.

Causes: Children and Youth, Education, Women's Issues

The women, whom the Dominican Sisters accompanied, began this journey with a desire in their hearts to build a community of support and learning. To become women of the frontier with strong values and purpose. To improve their ability to earn money for their families and children’s education. In response, the Fundacion para la Educacion de Mujeres y Niños and the women’s sewing cooperative, Manos de Mujeres Artesanas, Mujeres de Esperanza y Fe, was formed through years of devotion from the organization and community alike. The most recent development has been the emergence of the Solidarity Gift Shop in El Paso, Texas, establishing both a point of sale and a hub for community engagement. With innovative programs in academics, entrepreneurship, and essential life skill building, CSC continues to empower individuals and families to overcome challenges in pursuit of a better future.

Your Support to Centro Santa Catalina makes possible the enriching experiences these women and children carry with them; remembered as acts of love and solidarity. It is transformed into a blessing that provides both worldly and spiritual uplifting.
