59 projects took place in 16 countries

(MissionNewswire) Bosco Global’s 2025 report “Heroes of Hope” highlighted that through 59 projects in 16 countries the organization has impacted more than 51,000 people who are vulnerable. It further highlights the Salesian mission and a shared conviction that solidarity knows no borders.

A Salesian noted, “The report’s publication comes at a time when the importance of international cooperation is being called into question, following recent agreements signed by regional governments. The National NGO Coordinator and the network of Regional Coordinators of Development NGOs, of which Bosco Global is a member, are promoting a campaign of public cooperation policy as a tool for eradicating inequalities and poverty worldwide.”

At the presentation of the report, Father Fernando Miranda, president of Bosco Global and superior of Spain’s Mary Help of Christians Province, said, “In the face of those who present a false dilemma between addressing local needs or supporting those living in situations of poverty and exclusion in other parts of the world, we continue to maintain that solidarity knows no boundaries. It is time to build fraternity, to recognize ourselves as one human family and to respond together to global challenges.”

In 2025, Bosco Global promoted 37 international cooperation projects, 20 initiatives in Education for Transformation and Global Justice, and two volunteering programs, reaffirming its commitment to promoting human rights, education, equal opportunities and the building of communities capable of transforming their own circumstances.

Through the international Salesian network, Bosco Global also supported children affected by the wars and continued to work alongside communities suffering the consequences of protracted conflicts.At the same time, it continued to promote projects that strengthen access to vocational education, youth employability, agroecology, food security, entrepreneurship and quality education.

In Spain, education has continued to serve as a tool for fostering critical and engaged citizenship. Thousands of youth and education professionals have taken part in initiatives focused on protecting the environment, gender equality, a culture of peace, cultural diversity, the prevention of hate speech and the defense of human rights.

A statement about the report read, “At Bosco Global, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people and organizations whose commitment and involvement have made the work carried out throughout 2025 possible. Thank you for continuing to believe that, as Father Miranda said, cooperation is an investment in humanity, justice and peace, and for demonstrating, every day, that another world is possible. May this report also serve as an invitation to continue to be agents of hope.”
