What We Do

We provide innovative digital solutions that help brands grow, connect, and stand out. From concept to execution, we craft experiences that leave a lasting impact.


Our Integrated Focus

At the heart of everything we are called to do are three foundational elements of being Catholic, Family focused and Community based in our programmes of disaster relief, development and advocacy.

  • First, we are Catholic. Motivated by our faith in Jesus Christ, Caritas serves the poorest of the poor, vulnerable and marginalized regardless of race, religion, caste or gender.
  • Family focus prioritizes children, youth, adults and the elderly and empowers them together with their communities to improve their well-being.
  • Our work is community-based, encouraging individuals and families through "animation" and walking in "solidarity" with others to achieve development of the 'whole person'.

Guiding Principles

The guiding principles that inspire our work are based on Catholic Social Teaching.

1

Dignity of the Human Person

We believe in the intrinsic dignity and equality of every human person and the sacredness of human life, from conception to natural death. We reject exclusion of the poor, disabled, and elderly.

2

Mercy and Compassion

We take action to alleviate misery and pain. Mercy is a Gospel value central to the message of Jesus, leading us to be loving and compassionate.

3

Formation of the Heart

Those who work for the Church dedicate themselves with heartfelt concern, experiencing the richness of humanity and cultivating a “formation of the heart.”

4

Equal Opportunities & Responsibilities

We advocate fairness and shared responsibility, ensuring equal opportunities for all members of the human family.

5

Preferential Option for the Poor

We prioritize the needs of the poor and vulnerable, placing them at the heart of our mission and actions.

6

Universal Destination of Goods of the Earth

We work to transform economic, social, political, and cultural structures that are opposed to a just society. We work to change this world into one where all can share in the gifts of creation and enjoy basic rights.

7

Solidarity

We are committed to solidarity among all peoples, seeing the world through the eyes of the poor, and recognizing the interdependence of the human family. We will always strive to work for the common good.

8

Subsidiarity & Cooperation

We seek to work together across the confederation when a united approach can increase effectiveness and advance our common vision. We recognize the local autonomy of each organization.

9

Stewardship

We believe the earth and its resources are entrusted to all human kind. As true stewards of creation, Caritas members seek to act and inspire others to act in an environmentally sustainable way, so that nature will be preserved for future generations.
