Caritas

Caritas is a global confederation of Catholic charitable organizations that aim to alleviate poverty and promote social justice. Founded in Germany in 1897, it operates in over 200 countries and territories, providing humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and development programs. The organization is dedicated to supporting marginalized communities and advocating for social change, embodying the values of compassion and solidarity. Recently, Caritas has been in the news due to allegations of financial misconduct involving funds that were purportedly mismanaged through accounts opened in Spain.
