How You May Help

It is your support that enables us to work where people are dependent on the help and solidarity of others. Your trust confirms our belief that our strategy – effective help so others can help themselves – is the right strategy everywhere in the world.

In order to provide lasting aid, Caritas Germany remains dependent on your donations in the future as well. When you donate, you can choose from a wide spectrum of aid projects and target your support to a project you deem important.

We guarantee that your donation reaches the destination you have selected. Each and every step, from the receipt of your donation to its practical application, is documented. If you choose not to tag your donation, we will employ your money where it is most needed. As a result, we are able to provide disaster aid, even when a disaster gets little public attention, and to help people who might otherwise be forgotten.

The German Central Institute for Social Affairs (DZI) has awarded its seal of approval to Caritas Germany’s International Department for its planning, implementing, accounting and controlling of projects and relief measures. Caritas Germany’s International Department’s administrative costs have remained roughly 8 per cent over the last few years, which, according to the German Central Institute for Social Affairs, is low.
