"The German Caritas gives priority to helping people who cannot find adequate help or any help at all through their personal contacts or through social security systems.
Caritas looks for a holistic approach to aid. An individual’s psychological and spiritual situation and his/her entire environment are integrated into the type of support he/she receives. The needy are encouraged to take an active part in changing their life situation.
Caritas supports the needy on their way to fair opportunities and to a life of independence and responsibility.”
