The difference your monthly donation can make
As a monthly donor you join a special community of Caritas Neighbours, the backbone of our organisation and the work that we support across the world. By choosing to make a monthly donation, you are helping to create a sustainable future for vulnerable communities by providing long-term support. Together, we can make a lasting impact for people living in poverty and work towards creating a more just world where all may thrive.
What you'll get as a Caritas Neighbour
When you become a Caritas Neighbour, you’ll receive regular news from our international programs and here in Australia, to read about the positive impact your support has made.
Join our community of Caritas Neighbours providing a monthly donation to help build futures of hope for people in need around the world.
You can change lives, like Rosalie’s
Rosalie was just 14-years-old when she was forcibly recruited to fight as a child soldier in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where she was forced to transport munitions to soldiers on the battlefield while facing the constant threat of violence inside the military camp.
After leaving the military, Rosalie and other ex-combatants were left to fend for themselves, with little support. With your generous help, Rosalie was able to participate in business and social skills training, supported by Caritas Australia’s local partners, to assist her to reintegrate into society.
Rosalie is now a business owner, a community leader and a role model for other ex-combatants who are seeking to readjust to civilian life. With the income she makes from her businesses, Rosalie can send her children to school. Her sons and daughters will have the choice and opportunities that she never did as a child.
