Caritas Lebanon is a member of Caritas Internationalis, a worldwide confederation which figures among the world’s largest humanitarian networks, counting 162 Catholic organizations working in 200 different countries and territories.
Based upon the Gospel’s love, Caritas Lebanon has a double-purpose mission:
Caritas is appointed by the Church to help people in need and restore their human dignity, regardless of their political, religious or social beliefs.
Caritas seeks to awaken a spirit of solidarity among Lebanese and to encourage the wealthier segments of society to help the poorest.
