Mission and Vision

Caritas in Veritate International is a confederation of catholic institutions, dedicated to recruit, mobilize and engage volunteers, with particular focus on young people:

  • to bring charity in truth and human progress to people in great need
  • to transform lives, by alleviating suffering, restoring dignity and inspiring hope,
  • through the formation of volunteers in mind, heart and spirit, as inspired by God’s unconditional love

Our Vision

It is our vision that CiVI will have a four-fold impact:

  • Fulfilling the vision of Pope Benedict XVI to bring both charity and truth to people in great need
  • Transforming lives of the underprivileged, and inspiring hope to those affected by natural disasters or poverty, through charitable works and brotherly aid
  • Building long-term, local communities which will be able to assist in the efforts of both charity and truth
  • Forming a generation of young leaders who will continue to practice the integrated compassion of good works and evangelization for the rest of their lives
