Mapping News Coverage with Strategic Goals
GC29 affirms that service to the poorest young people is inseparable from Salesian identity, calling for generosity that values processes over mere results. In South Asia, the **Mission Poverty Eradication (MPE)** initiative promotes accountability by documenting outreach, conducting social audits, and ensuring that resources are prioritized for the poorest youth. Provinces and communities are invited to make bold, concrete choices so that education and formation become real opportunities for the needy, while communal evaluation fosters authentic fidelity to the Salesian charism.
