Caritas Singapore is the official social and community arm of the Catholic Church in Singapore and a member of Caritas Internationalis, a global confederation of over 160 humanitarian organisations. We are the umbrella body for over 20 Catholic charities and organisations whose work has touched the lives of many, regardless of race or religion. Through the work of Caritas Singapore and our social mission family, we seek to serve the poor, vulnerable, and marginalised in our community.
The Caritas Singapore family comprises member organisations who support a wide array of causes such as the poor, rough sleepers, children and families, victims of family violence, youth-at-risk, the elderly, the ailing and terminally ill, prisioners, low-wage migrants, persons living with HIV/AIDS, and those with physical difficulties, intellectual disabilities, and mental health conditions.
Our member organisations run over 70 programmes aimed at helping the less fortunate in society, including but not limited to financial aid, shelters, and residential care, befriending and counselling services, medical and palliative care, rehab and therapy, education and skills training, overseas humanitarian missions, public advocacy, and community outreach.
