CAFOD

Donate to emergencies

We can get there, and we do. In a world where crises can strike without warning, we are uniquely positioned to provide immediate aid to those in desperate need, thanks to your support.

As part of Caritas, a global confederation of Catholic organizations dedicated to ending poverty and promoting justice, we harness the strength of our extensive church network to reach communities worldwide. Our reach extends across borders and barriers, allowing us to act swiftly in times of crisis, whether it's natural disasters, conflicts, or humanitarian emergencies.

With your generosity, we transform lives by:

  • Delivering Urgent Relief: We provide food, clean water, shelter, and medical care to people affected by disasters. Every moment counts, and with your support, we can be on the ground within hours, ensuring vital resources reach the most vulnerable.

  • Empowering Communities: Beyond immediate relief, we work to build resilient communities. Through education, vocational training, and sustainable development projects, we help individuals regain their independence and dignity.

  • Advocating for Justice: CAFOD stands as a voice for the voiceless. We advocate for policies that promote social justice, protect human rights, and more.

Support our Emergency Response Team

The Emergency Response Team is funded by our loyal regular donors who have chosen to specifically support our emergencies work.

Many humanitarian situations can escalate quickly so having regular donations that we can depend on gives us the flexibility and agility we need to respond and react to emergencies whenever they strike.
