background informationfor session leadersSOLIDARITYSolidarity is one of the seven principles of Catholic social teaching (UnitedStates Conference of Catholic Bishops) and means that all people are part ofone human family. We call God “Our Father,” acknowledging that we are allbrothers and sisters before him. As one human family, we are deeply connectedto people around the world—wherever they may be. And because we are one,we are affected by the joy and suffering of all. “If onemember of Christ’s body suffers, all suffer. If one memberis honored, all rejoice.” (1 Corinthians 12:12–26) Living insolidarity means we take action to make sure that everymember of our human family is living in conditions thathonor human dignity. “We are all really responsible forall.” (St. John Paul II, Sollicitudo Rei Socialis, no. 38)CRS is helping farmers inthe Democratic Republic ofCongo grow strong, healthycrops so they can earn aliving and feed their families.Photo by Lane Hartill/CRSCATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICESCatholic Relief Services is the official internationalhumanitarian agency of the Catholic communityin the United States. We are motivated by theexample of Jesus Christ to assist poor and sufferingpeople in more than 100 countries on the basis ofneed, without regard to race, religion or nationality.Founded in 1943, CRS reaches 85 million of theworld’s poorest people each year with innovative solutions to poverty,hunger, drought, disease and emergencies. CRS works in close partnershipwith the Catholic Church around the world, and with local, national andinternational organizations that share our commitment to finding ways tomeet immediate needs while empowering communities for the long term.SOLIDARITY AND CRSCRS lives out the Catholic social teaching principle of solidarity in different ways.We help communities around the world come together to support each other.In the Democratic Republic of Congo, for example, farmers were losing bananacrops to banana wilt disease. We showed them how to get rid of the disease andencouraged them to work together to clean the disease off their trees. In theUnited States, we invite Catholics to live their faith in solidarity with their brothersand sisters in need overseas. Catholics in the United States can do this throughCRS by praying, learning, acting and giving on behalf of their poorest brothers andsisters overseas.solidarity COUNTRY SPOTLIGHT: DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO 2015 Catholic Relief services.

Hamuli’s storyNIGERIACHADSUDANC. AFRICAN MayiANGOLAATICICNGOimply officialRWANDATANZANIALubumbashiWhen his banana trees died, Hamuli Kahati had nothingto sell. And his family had nothing to eat. That’s why it’s soimportant for farmers like Hamuli, who lives in the DemocraticRepublic of Congo, to be able to care for their crops.Sometimes, though, the trees get sick with banana wiltdisease. The disease destroyed the trees on Hamuli’s farm,and his income dropped from 150 a month to only 7. Hestruggled to give his three daughters even one meal per day.Catholic Relief Services helped bring farmers like Hamulitogether to learn different ways of fighting banana wiltdisease and to work together as a team. The farmersvisited each other’s fields and helped clean the diseaseoff the trees. By coming together as a family, theywere able to help each other get rid of the disease.Now Hamuli’s trees are thriving. With the money heearns each month from selling his bananas, his familyis eating two to three meals a day. He is even able tosend his girls to school. Because he and the other farmers came togetherand supported each other in a time of need, they are all doing better.ZAMBIATop: CRS showed Hamuli Kahatihow to fight banana wilt disease.Above left: The DemocraticNAMIBIABOTSWANARepublic of Congo, a landlockedcountry with abundant mineralresources, has struggled withinfighting, instability andhumanitarian crises for decades.Photo by Jean Paul Cigulube/CRS.Map credit: OCHA.ZIMBABWESOLIDARITYJesus tells us to love our neighbors, even though they may be different from us.
