Our focal points in the 2024 reporting year.
By providing Mass stipends for priests (17.2 percent) and subsistence aid for religious sisters (6.7 percent), we were once again able to help secure their livelihoods in 2024. A total of 23.9% of our funding was earmarked for these projects. In addition, we are active in acute crises with emergency aid measures for the suffering population. In 2024, such emergency aid in areas where Christians are threatened by vio- lence and displacement accounted for 10.7% of our total aid.
In 2024, we increased our support for the training of priests and religious (16.4 per- cent) and lay people (11.8 percent), which has always been one of our priorities, to a total of 28.2 percent, representing more than a quarter of our total aid. At 23.6 percent, projects for the con- struction, reconstruction or renovation of churches and church buildings also accounted for more than a quarter of our funding.
