About Caritas Switzerland
Caritas Switzerland, an independent not-for-profit organization founded in 1901, is one of Switzerland’s most respected and influential charities, both in the area of social work inside the country as well as regards international development cooperation and humanitarian aid. Caritas Switzerland emerged from the Swiss movement of social Catholicism. It is member of Caritas Internationalis, the federation of more than 160 national Caritas organizations worldwide.
Working impartially, independently and neutrally, Caritas Switzerland is committed to poverty reduction and a world governed by solidarity, equity and peace, in which the rights and dignity of every human being are respected. The Human Rights canon and the Sustainable Development Goals represent our points of reference. We firmly believe that every development process needs to be driven by target groups themselves. Therefore, Caritas involves in all its activities the local population taking into account their rights, needs, capabilities, potentials and constraints, strategies and networks.
The India Programme of Caritas Switzerland 2017-20 is being implemented through several local partners with a regional focus on the states of Delhi, Bihar and Jharkhand coordinated through its Country Office in Patna, Bihar. The thematic focus is on “Migration”, “Food Security & Markets” as well as “Climate Change and DRR”. Depending on type and scale of a disaster, humanitarian aid and rehabilitation projects will be implemented through partners in other states/regions of India in the future.
