What is Caritas
Caritas is the charitable arm of the Roman Catholic Church. It is to spearhead the church’s social mission, to respond to humanitarian crisis, promote integral human development and advocate on the causes of poverty and violence.
Education is the most powerful weapon to use to transform lives.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Education is the key that unlocks the door to unlimited possibilities and has the ability to transform the lives of those who earnestly seek knowledge.
Impoverished children, and underprivileged men and women, are often denied opportunities for learning because of their difficult circumstances. Without education and skills, they are unable to forge a better future for themselves and their families.
Let us take concrete action to throw open the doors to learning to all, especially those who need it most.
Caritas Penang comes under the jurisdiction of The Titular Roman Catholic Bishop of Penang.
