Thank you for your commitment to the work of Caritas Internationalis. This year we will help millions of the world’s most needy people in over 200 countries. A great way to make a difference to the lives of these people is to make a financial donation to our work.

The Global Action Fund enables us to save lives in emergencies such as droughts, famine, conflict and earthquakes. We can ensure that food, shelter, security, clean water and medical help reach the communities who need them most through coordinated, effective and immediate action by our experienced staff and volunteers.

Your investment in the Global Action Fund provides the resources for us to do our job more effectively. Your contribution will make it possible for us to prepare better for future emergencies and to strengthen our provision of social services to the most vulnerable in poor, and rich, countries.

By supporting the Global Action Fund, you will allow us to speak out against injustice and fight inequality. By tackling the causes of poverty, we will be able to reduce its consequences.

These unrestricted funds are essential in enabling us to coordinate relief efforts to help people in desperate need, but for whom it is difficult to raise funds as their plight is less visible or no longer in the news.

Caritas Internationalis is not supported by any governments and depends on donations to carry out its work.

Once again, thank you for your support.
