About us
Our Focus
Caritas Cape Town promotes charity, justice and environmental responsibility throughout the Archdiocese of Cape Town.
Faith in action
Caritas Cape Town is inspired by the Gospels, by the teachings of the Catholic Church and by the hopes of people living in poverty. We encourage everyone to respond to humanitarian disasters, to promote integral human development and to advocate on the causes of poverty and violence.
Emergency response
Caritas Cape Town responds practically to humanitarian crises. This allows those in the poorest and most vulnerable communities to survive and recover from disasters and to live in a safe and secure environment.
Transforming lives
Caritas Cape Town promotes integral human development so that people in the worst off and most disadvantaged communities are free to flourish and live in peace and dignity. We work to ensure that our natural environment is managed responsibly and sustainably in the interests of the entire human family.
Calling for a better world
Caritas Cape Town seeks a world where the voices of the poor and marginalised are heard and acted upon. This is a world where the poorest and most disadvantaged communities are able to influence the systems, decisions and resources that affect them.
