| Vision:-
Caritas Nepal works to create an equitable,
just, peaceful, democratic and pluralistic
society where people respect each other
and work together without any discrimination
of caste, creed, race, ethnicity, and sex
to realize the fundamental and universal
principles of Human Rights and where the
oppressed and marginalised people, empowered
through animation and people’s organisation,
are able to achieve integral human development
and become agents of social transformation.
Mission:-
Caritas Nepal commits itself to working
among the poor and the marginalised in a
coordinated way linking all programmes of
micro-credit, sustainable agriculture, gender
development, peace, disaster mitigation,
emergency relief and health awareness with
the perspective of human rights approach
and with the methodology of building groups
and empowering them.
Caritas Nepal elaborates
its mission as follows:
- To bring about gender sensitivity and
gender equality that will make women live
a dignified life, thereby effecting a
cultural change.
- To empower people and organizations
working among the oppressed and marginalised
ethnic groups through animation and capacity
building to liberate them from poverty
and bondage and make them self-reliant
and live a dignified life.
- Towards the above purpose, Caritas
Nepal will employ an integral human development
approach. The basic assumption is that
poverty is a brutal denial of human rights
and that poverty can be eradicated only
by the full realisation of the right to
development, and that the realisation
of human rights is an integral part of
sustainable development.
- To be present where people are suffering
from any disaster arising out of natural
or human made causes. Caritas Nepal will
offer relief to the extent possible and
also plan for their rehabilitation and
sustainable livelihood. It will involve
itself in empowering the community to
be prepared for possible disaster and
reduce human loss and suffering. The internally
displaced people and refugees will also
constitute our target groups.
- To work for food security and environment
balance through promotion of sustainable
agriculture, livestock and community forestry
for the well-being of the farmers.
