About us

Caritas Switzerland prevents, alleviates and fights against poverty in Switzerland and worldwide in around 20 countries. Together with the regional Caritas organisations, Caritas works to support people who are affected by poverty in Switzerland: families, single parents, the unemployed, the working poor. Caritas Switzerland has a range of offers in the areas of fighting poverty, asylum and integration. Globally, Caritas Switzerland provides emergency relief in disasters and helps with reconstruction. With its projects in development cooperation, Caritas is active in the fields of income, climate and migration for children and adults. Caritas advocates a society based on solidarity and a policy that takes socially disadvantaged people in Switzerland and abroad into account. Caritas is involved with analyses and statements on climate, social, migration and development policy. Caritas Switzerland is an independent association with its Head Office in Lucerne and a member of the international Caritas network, which comprises 160 organisations throughout the world.
