About CAFOD

CAFOD, the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development, is the official aid agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. Established in 1962, CAFOD works tirelessly to alleviate poverty and promote social justice across the globe. The organization focuses on empowering communities, advocating for change, and providing emergency relief in times of crisis.

With a commitment to sustainable development, CAFOD collaborates with local partners in various countries to implement projects that address the root causes of poverty. These initiatives include education, health care, and livelihood support, ensuring that communities can thrive independently.

CAFOD also plays a vital role in raising awareness about global issues, encouraging individuals and communities to take action against injustice. Through campaigns and advocacy, the agency seeks to influence policy decisions that affect the lives of the most vulnerable populations.

In addition to its development work, CAFOD responds to emergencies caused by natural disasters and conflicts, providing immediate assistance to those in need. The organization’s dedicated team of staff and volunteers work around the clock to ensure that help reaches those who require it most.

As a member of the Caritas Internationalis network, CAFOD is part of a global movement committed to humanitarian aid and social justice. The agency’s vision is rooted in the belief that every person deserves dignity and respect, and it strives to create a world where everyone can live a fulfilling life.

Through generous donations and the support of volunteers, CAFOD continues to make a significant impact in the lives of millions. The agency invites everyone to join in its mission to build a just and compassionate world.
