Caritas Internationalis is a confederation of 154 Catholic relief, development and social service organisations present in 198 countries and territories.

The Caritas mission is to spread solidarity and social justice throughout the world. We draw our inspiration from Christian Scripture, tradition and the social teaching of the Church, as well as the lived experience of those we serve.

Our members work to create a world in which the dignity of the human person is paramount, and in which exclusion, discrimination, violence, intolerance and dehumanising poverty are no more.

Headquartered in Vatican City, Caritas Internationalis supports its members by:

• Providing a forum for dialogue and exchange among member organisations to share ideas, learn from each other and support each other's efforts.
  
  
• Helping member organisations build their own capacity in order to serve the poor and marginalised more effectively.
  
  
• Acting as a voice or advocate for the cause of the poor and enabling the poor to be their own advocates.
  
  
• Facilitating cooperation within and beyond the Caritas Confederation.
