What makes CARITAS stand out among other child development and/or sponsorship organizations?
We are not unique in that we seek to incorporate the teachings of Jesus Christ in our ministry. However we do believe we are unique in that the people we partner with are Catholic Men and Women religious. These people have vowed their lives to a ministry of serving others, are dedicated to that work, live in communities within the countries we work, are educated, and in most cases, have suffered the same impoverishment of the people they serve… they have been doing this work in their locations often for decades to centuries. We believe that they are trustworthy in their heartfelt missions to serve their own people, and in the long-term goal of self-reliance and sustaining change, they know how to reach their own people. They are committed to this work for life and we are blessed to have the opportunity to support their service to others.
