Seven decades of fighting against poverty and for human dignity

On the occasion of its 70th anniversary on December 12th 2021, Caritas Internationalis is organising seven webinars dedicated to the seven Caritas Regions.

On October 28th at 3.30 pm CEST will take place on zoom the webinar Seven decades of fighting against poverty and for human dignity, that will be dedicated to the work of Caritas in the North America region, home to three of the Confederation’s longest-running member organisations: Catholic Relief Service (CRS), Catholic Charities USA, and Development and Peace – Caritas Canada.

This first webinar will be a time to reflect on the developments in the work of Caritas in the North American region in the areas of integration and poverty alleviation, as well as their humanitarian work abroad. A special focus will be given to the humanitarian emergency in Haiti, where the Caritas Internationalis network, and in particular CRS, is very active.
