A Vital Role: The Franciscan Network
for Migrants in Panama

Panama, a strategic migratory corridor in the Americas, is on the front lines of the rise in reverse migration. After arduous journeys north, migrants are forced or choose to return, due to exhaustion or political obstacles.

With the support from Quixote Center, the Franciscan Network for Migrants is a key actor addressing this often-invisible phenomenon, offering humanitarian aid, shelter, and emotional support to those whose dreams were interrupted.

Key Programs:
Meals & Welcome in Paso Canoas:
* A powerful example of cross-border solidarity and human dignity, uniting church organizations from Costa Rica and Panama - Uniendo Fronteras Network.
* 2,910 hot lunches, 1,672 hygiene kits and 300 nutritional kits for children shared since April 2025 with the launch of the Frontera de Paz y Bien (Border of Peace and Goodness) project.
Shelter & Dignity at Hogar Medalla Milagrosa:
* A national model of inter-institutional collaboration in Panama (State, International Organizations and the Church).
* 1,322 migrants welcomed this year with food, medicine, internet access, and emotional support.
National Advocacy and Humanitarian Assistance through Red Clamor Panamá:
* 11 organizations working together from Darién to Panama City, fighting for the dignity and rights of migrants in Panama.
Impact A reinforced network of protection and welcome for the most vulnerable migrants grounded in pastoral care, technical support, and human solidarity.
