Who we are
A snapshot
Caritas Australia is the Catholic
agency for international aid and
development.
Caritas Australia helps people to
help themselves, regardless of
race, political beliefs, gender or
religion.
Who we are
A snapshot
Our work is guided by the Catholic
Social Teaching moral framework,
with an emphasis on upholding
the Dignity of the human person.
Our core focus is the poorest of
the poor - the most vulnerable
and marginalised.

Our work can be summarised as:
Humanitarian aid
Long term development
Advocacy and education

End Poverty. Promote Justice. Uphold Dignity.
“Poverty in the world is a scandal.
In a world where there is so much wealth,
so many resources to feed everyone,
it is unfathomable
that there are so many hungry children,
that there are so many children
without an education,
so many poor persons.”
Pope Francis, 2013
All of us here
have access to
more resources
than 80% of the world
“We are all really responsible
for each other.”
Pope John Paul II
Together we have already
done some great things!
With your support to Caritas,
communities like these have been helped!
We can still do more!
