What are Caritas Gifts?

Caritas Gifts help support Caritas' life-changing work around the world. When you buy a gift, you receive a beautifully illustrated card to give to your friend or loved one which explains how their gift will help transform the lives of people struggling to overcome poverty and injustice by supporting Caritas’ work for justice, peace and development.

Caritas Gifts are set out in four funds:

  • Hope Fund - supports our development work

  • Life Fund - sustains emergency support

  • Peace Fund - promotes healthcare, human rights and justice

  • Learning Fund - supports education and environmental care.

When you purchase a gift from one of these funds the money you spend supports that area of Caritas’ work.

For example, if you buy the gift of an Emergency kit from the Life Fund, the money you pay goes into that fund and is used to support emergency work where it is needed most.

Caritas Gifts are real examples of our work. If you buy or have received the gift of Pick a pig which is part of the Hope Fund, the money from your gift will be spent on development projects.
