Promoting Justice, Seeking Peace

The Quixote Center empowers vulnerable families and communities to become the artisans of their own destiny through transforming oppressive systems and structures.  Inspired by liberation theology and Catholic Social Teaching, we do this through sustainable development, advocacy, economic justice, environmental, and educational initiatives.  Our current focus is on Nicaragua and Haiti, where we support programs to empower impoverished families and communities, and support for migrants in Mexico and Central America, where we work to mitigate the damage of US immigration policies. Together with our partners, we dream of a world more justly loving.
