    Caritas Internationalis Annual Report 2011 Caritas Internationalis is a global confederation of 164 Catholic organisations under the umbrella of the Holy See, which responds to humanitarian disasters, promotes integral human development and lobbies on the causes of poverty and violence. Inspired by Christian faith and gospel values, Caritas works in most of the world’s countries with the poor and oppressed, vulnerable and excluded, regardless of race or religion. It promotes just and fraternal societies where the dignity of every human being is enhanced. Depending on the size of the Catholic community and the will of their bishops’ conference, Caritas national members range from small entities to some of the world’s largest social, humanitarian and development organisations. Combined, they have over a million staff and volunteers. Caritas Internationalis has a General Secretariat in Rome, which coordinates the confederation’s response to major humanitarian emergencies, supports members and advocates on their behalf for a better world, based on justice, compassion and fraternity.

Photo Disasters hit the poorest the hardest. h ey often live in the most dangerous locations and are most susceptible to natural disasters, such as fl oods or droughts. h ey are also the ones who will have to leave behind their homes, jobs and farmland when fl eeing from acts of war. Often they do not have anything or anyone to fall back on. Disasters destroy investments of years and obstruct further development. h is means that the most eff ective disaster response demands synergy between humanitarian aid, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development.
