What does Caritas do?
Caritas works in rich countries and not so well off ones, in the Northern hemisphere and the global South. We consider integral human development as the guiding principle for our longer-term projects, but responds efficiently and effectively to sudden onset emergencies too.
Due to its vast grassroots network, Caritas is often the first on the scene to help, and stays on when other humanitarian agencies have left.
Caritas believes in solidarity, social and economic justice and peace and proactively incorporates these principles in its work.
