Around the world, human life, marriage, and the family are under attack. Powerful, multi-million-dollar organizations promote abortion, contraception, euthanasia, and other anti-family ideologies. Their influence reaches governments, media, healthcare systems, and schools—threatening both lives and souls.
The people best positioned to resist these threats are local. Priests, doctors, educators, and other leaders know their communities best, but many lack the guidance and support they need to stand against these deadly agendas.
For more than 50 years, HLI has empowered local leaders to build a Culture of Life. Through faithful Catholic formation, practical tools, and a global network of support, we help leaders defend human life, strengthen marriage and the family, and bring truth and compassion to those they serve.
This local approach creates lasting impact. As leaders put what they learn into practice and share it with others, they transform parishes, classrooms, medical clinics, and entire communities.
Today, you can become part of this mission. Your partnership will help strengthen families, protect vulnerable lives, and build a global Culture of Life.
HLI's 4 Pillar Programs:
Leadership Training
Equiping the people who can reach thousands more.
Our missionaries train priests, seminarians, healthcare professionals, educators, and other key leaders to understand and defend Catholic teaching on life and family—and to share that knowledge with others.
Chastity Education
Tackling the culture of death at its root.
On five continents, HLI teaches young people the truth about chastity, marriage, and human dignity. By helping the next generation embrace God's plan for love and sexuality, we address the root causes of abortion and family breakdown.
Pregnancy Care Centers
Helping families choose life when abortion feels like the only option.
HLI's pregnancy centers provide parents with practical assistance, compassionate care, and the support they need to choose life for their children.
Legal Activism
Defending life and family in law and public policy.
HLI affiliates engage the United Nations, Organization of American States, and national governments to advocate for life-affirming policies and push back against top-down pressure that undermines local efforts to defend life and family.

What Makes HLI Different?
Local leaders know what their communities need. HLI gives them formation, resources, expertise, and a worldwide network of support.
We don't isolate abortion from the larger crisis facing marriage, sexuality, family, and human dignity. We teach the fullness of the Church's vision for life and family.
We equip priests, seminarians, doctors, educators, advocates, and other leaders who can reach thousands more.
“I am so happy to say that all the schools we visited last year had zero dropouts because of pregnancy...the students have embraced the message of chastity.”
Fr. Alpheus Zikomankhani (HLI Malawi)
