Catholic welfare group says U.S. funding cuts won’t affect ministry

A major global Catholic aid group says the recent funding cuts at the U.S. government will not affect its globe-spanning ministries in India, Africa, and elsewhere.

Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA) said in a Thursday press statement that the Trump administration’s slashing of funding for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) “will neither curtail nor limit” the group’s ministries across several continents.

CNEWA serves communities “scattered throughout the historic but unstable lands of the ancient Eastern churches” — specifically in the Middle East, northeast Africa, India, and Eastern Europe.

The group distributes emergency relief to churches that require it while also supporting the formation and development of Church leaders including clergy and religious. It supports communities ranging from the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church in India to the Coptic, Eritrean, and Ethiopian Catholic Churches in Africa.
