Caritas Malaysia is a member of the Caritas Internationalis network of 165 Catholic relief, development and social service agencies working in over 200 countries and territories around the world.

Caritas Malaysia endeavours to serve marginalised and vulnerable communities through a local diocesan consultation process.

Community-based development seeks to engage local communities through dialogue and empowers them to participate and take responsibility for the improvement of their lives, communities, and environment.

CARITAS Malaysia joins the global CARITAS Confederation in their emergency appeal to support the humanitarian relief efforts of CARITAS Ukraine. It aims to support conflict-affected people with food, drinking water, safe accommodation and hygiene kits. CARITAS is also working to ensure safe transportation for vulnerable people to reach their loved ones and safe areas.

The toll of the first month of the war in Ukraine is at least 2,421 civilian victims, 3,389,044 refugees – including at least 1.5 million children – and nearly 6.5 million internally displaced persons. Caritas Internationalis continues to sustain the two Ukrainian Caritas organisations – Caritas Ukraine and Caritas Spes-Ukraine – that had stood by the people from the very first moments and have never abandoned them.
