About CAFOD
CAFOD is the official aid agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. Founded in 1962, CAFOD works across the world to bring hope and compassion to poor communities, standing side by side with them to end poverty and injustice. Nobody wants to live on handouts, so the organisation equips people with the skills they need to support their families and give something back to their communities. During conflict and disasters, our local organisations act fast to provide food, water and shelter to people who have lost everything, and then help people to rebuild their lives and prepare for future disasters.
Learn More About CAFOD
CAFOD believes that everyone has the right to live their lives with dignity. For this reason, the organisation works through the local Catholic Church and other partners across the world to fight poverty and injustice, wherever the need is greatest. CAFOD is a member of Caritas International – a group of over 160 Catholic agencies – known as ‘the helping hand of the Church’. Because it works through the local Church and can reach people and places that others can’t.
