Around half the population of Zimbabwe are expected to not have access to enough nutritious food in 2020 because of poor rains and erratic weather.
In the Gospel story of the five loaves and two fishes, Jesus fed the multitude. Today, millions of people go to bed hungry even though there’s an abundance of food in this world. Caritas works on every level to ensure the hungry are fed.
As a confederation of more than 160 Catholic organisations, Caritas focuses its joint efforts on how climate change effects the ability of the world’s poor and vulnerable to feed themselves.
Food is an essential need for everyone and a lack of nutritious food not only harms health but deeply wounds people’s fundamental dignity.
Caritas advocates for the right to food, where everyone receives nutritious and adequate food.
Feed the man dying of hunger, because if you have not fed him, you have killed him (Gratian, C.21, dist. 86)
