Catholic Agency For Overseas Development

Catholic Agency For Overseas Development believes that all human beings have a right to dignity and respect. The world's resources are a gift to be shared equally by all men and women, whatever their race, nationality or religion.

CAFOD provides knowledge that can make real differences to people's lives.

CAFOD raises funds from the Catholic community in England and Wales, the UK government and the general public so that it can:

* promote long-term development
* respond to emergencies
* raise public awareness of the causes of poverty
* speak out on behalf of poor communities
* promote social justice in witness to Christian faith and gospel values
