Caritas Singapore is all about people. Through our programmes, we seek to serve the community and we welcome you to join us on this journey.
Caritas Singapore is the official social and community arm of the Catholic Church in Singapore, and the umbrella body for 23 Catholic charities whose work touches the lives of more than 50,000 beneficiaries regardless of race, language or religion. We are also a member of Caritas Internationalis, a global federation of 165 humanitarian organisations.
The organisations under the umbrella of Caritas Singapore support a wide array of causes such as the poor, children, youth at risk, families, prisoners, elderly, sick, people with life-limiting illnesses, people with HIV/AIDS, those with disabilities, migrant workers, people with legal and medical needs.
There are more than 70 programmes run by these organisations aimed at helping the people in need. Programmes and services include soup kitchen, financial assistance, residential care, shelters, befriending, counselling, palliative care, student care, skills training etc. While our main focus is in Singapore, we also reach out to needy groups overseas and respond to disasters like tsunamis and earthquakes.
