Ending Generational Poverty
Through Faith, Farming
& Flourishing Communities

In remote villages across Central America, parents are desperate to feed their children and build a better future — but daily hunger, chronic malnutrition, and grinding poverty leave them with no way out. Many live on less than $1.25 a day, with limited access to safe water, healthcare, or education. Even the most determined mothers and fathers cannot break the cycle alone. They long to leave a different legacy for their children — but without help, their dreams are out of reach.

A New Legacy

“We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.” Psalm 78:4

Your support transforms lives

That’s why Cross International works alongside trusted local partners through our Thriving Kids Initiative — to break the cycle of generational poverty with practical, Christ-centered solutions. Together, we are making an impact in 13 Community Transformation villages in Guatemala and Nicaragua, and in 178 vulnerable communities worldwide. With your help, families can gain the training, resources, and opportunities they need to feed their children, grow stronger, and build lasting hope.

Together we can help children thrive!

When you give, you help children thrive — with food, education, and the love of Christ. Families once trapped in poverty can begin building a brighter future filled with hope.

“A New Legacy” campaign, part of our Thriving Kids Initiative, is meeting urgent material and spiritual needs of children and families in 12 countries. We are making an impact — but there is still much work to be done!

Will you join us in supporting children and families who have not yet received these life-changing services?

Give generously

Together, we can give children and families the chance to thrive — with food, education, and the love of Christ.

Or whatever amount God places on your heart

Because of you, families once trapped in poverty can begin a new legacy of faith and hope. Thank you for responding to God’s call and becoming part of His plan to never forget the needy. You are sharing His love and helping children grow strong, nourished, and ready to thrive in Christ.

the hope of the afflicted will never perish."
