Street children and child refugees

Poverty, abuse, disasters or war: there are many reasons why children end up on the street or have to run away. These children need protection and support so they can find a way back to normal life and go to school. Bring street children and child refugees back into normal life and give them a chance for the future.
Courage for children

Courage for children

Countless children grow up not only in poverty but are beaten, sexually exploited, traded as cheap commodities or traumatised in wars. Children have a right to love, protection and care. Give traumatised and neglected children new courage.

World without hunger

800 million people worldwide are undernourished. Every day, thousands of children die from the consequences of hunger and malnutrition. With concerted efforts, hunger can be eliminated. Support Caritas in the fight against hunger.

Water for all

1,6 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. People who are forced to drink contaminated water fall ill. People who cannot irrigate their fields must starve. This cannot be tolerated. Drinking water is a human right. Ensure that families, villages and whole regions have access to water.

Natural disasters, famine and war: They leave behind desperate people without livelihoods. Rapid aid for these women, children and men is vital. As a disaster relief worker, you are on the spot; and help to save lives.

Caritas Star

Millions of innocent families suffer worldwide and in Switzerland from the consequences of poverty. Hunger, wars, natural disasters and the disregard for basic human rights threaten children, women and men. Every family should be allowed to live in dignity and security. 

As a Caritas Star, you support the strengthening of food security of small farming families in Mali, covering the basic needs of fleeing families in Burkina Faso, or combating poverty in Switzerland. With just 10 Swiss francs a month, you bring optimism.
