Our Mission and Guiding Values and Principles


Caritas Europa has a heartfelt commitment to analyse and fight poverty and social exclusion as well as to promote true integral human development, social justice and sustainable social systems in Europe and throughout the world.  

Caritas Europa advocates for, and with, people in need in order to transform society into a more just and inclusive civilisation.

Caritas Europa recognises the need for mutual learning and innovation in all we do.

This network, inspired by the Gospel and the Catholic social teachings, is totally opposed to every form of oppression and is committed to justice. The inviolable dignity of the human person is its essential guiding principle, since nothing on earth is as sacred as man and woman, created in the image and likeness of God.
