CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development)

Picture
  The Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD), previously known as the Catholic Fund for Overseas Development, is a United Kingdom-based international aid agency working to alleviate poverty and suffering in developing countries. It is funded by the Catholic community in England and Wales, the UK government and the general public by donations.

CAFOD was founded in 1960. CAFOD's aims are to promote long-term development; respond to emergencies; raise public awareness of the causes of poverty; speak out on behalf of poor communities; and promote social justice in witness to Christian faith and gospel values. It is also involved in short-term relief. It is a sponsor of the new Las Casas Institute at Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford.

CAFOD is an agency of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales and part of the Caritas International Federation which operates in over 200 countries and territories worldwide.

CAFOD's mission statement describes its vision, mission and values as follows:

             *Drawing inspiration from The Bible, Catholic social teaching and the hopes of people who are poor, marginalised, or oppressed, CAFOD is
             committed to building a world free from
poverty and injustice where:
             *
The rights and dignity of each person are respected, discrimination is ended and all are gathered into a single human community from which
             no one is
excluded.
             *
The good things of creation are developed and shared by all, and the structures that rule people’s lives express justice and enable peace.
           
 *The lives and choices of rich and poor alike have been transformed by solidarity
             *All have access to food, clean water, shelter and security; to a livelihood, health and education; all can participate in shaping their societies
             and their world.
