Description

Caritas Australia supports communities through long-term development programs in Africa, Asia, East Timor, Latin America, the Pacific and with Indigenous Australians in Australia. Our focus is on providing integrated development through water and sanitation, housing, education, health, literacy, women's empowerment, income generation and sustainable agriculture.

Caritas Australia is the Catholic agency for international aid and development in Australia.
Caritas Australia belongs to an international confederation called Caritas Internationalis, a network of 162 Catholic relief, development and social service organisations working to build a better world, especially for the poor and oppressed, in over 200 countries and territories.
Caritas is one of the largest international humanitarian networks, working with people regardless of their religion, race, gender or ethnicity.We help people to help themselves, regardless of race, political beliefs, gender or religion. Caritas Australia works hard to make sure that as much aid as possible actually reaches those who need it. The administration/aid ratio of Caritas Australia is one of the best in the world. We keep our administration and fundraising costs at or below 10% of our income. 92% of all money raised by Caritas Australia during an emergency appeal is actually sent to that country.
