MISSION
The Vincentian Family is a global family founded on our primary charismatic intuition, “there is God endowed dignity in every human story and in our planet.” We are a coalition of Vincentian Family NGOs that collaborates around our ministry of advocacy at the United Nations, respecting our individual identities and mandates, to strengthen the impact of advocacy we have as a family. We seek to be a united voice of the Vincentian Family at the United Nations. We advocate for and seek the empowerment of our brothers and sisters on the social and economic margins of history and society, the excluded, and our wounded Mother Earth.
VISION
The Vincentian Family at the United Nations envisions a world where the integral development of the human person is safeguarded. We promote a world of sustainable livelihoods, economic justice, social inclusion, and environmental protection, particularly for the most vulnerable and excluded, so that the dignity of each person is respected and poverty is ended. We embrace a human rights framework, to ensure that all persons can live in a world of peace, justice, and security.
FOCUS
After the celebration of the 400 years of our Charism (2017) we embrace HOMELESSNESS as the main focus of our advocacy campaign together at the UN to support the efforts of our entire family around the world. We will continue to adapt to thematic approaches the Vincentian Family collectively chooses to bring an end to poverty.
