1. What is the name of your organisation?
The organisation that I have chosen to research is Caritas Australia. It is a non-profit international aid and development agency of the Catholic Church in Australia. Their motto is to help “end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity” for the poor so they won’t need to rely on charities anymore. Furthermore, the international symbol of Caritas is a flaming cross which represents Christ’s burning love for his people.
2. Where does it operate?
Caritas Australia helps marginalised people in over 35 countries around the world including areas like Africa, Asia, Latin America, Australia, the Pacific and the Middle East. It is also involved in an international network consisting of over 200 countries
Analysis of CAFOD (A Charity Organization) The charity I am going to analyse and explain is CAFOD. CAFOD was formed in 1961when the National Board of Catholic Women decided to carry out a family fast day, because the people of the Caribbean Island of Dominica had requested help for a mother and baby health care programme. A year after the family fast day the Catholic bishops of England and Wales decided to set up the “Catholic Fund for Overseas Development” or “CAFOD”. The main aim of this charity was to bring together the vast number of smaller charities and to educate Roman Catholics in England and Wales about the need for world development and also to raise money for developing countries. Even now CAFOD is still helping all around the world thanks to the support of Catholics in England and Wales.
In some ways, Kellie’s depiction was entirely bias and unfair, as to the choice of footage used; there was no indication of the various charities that aim to alleviate poverty within Australia, including: Salvos, Anglicare and St Vincent de Paul. This is entirely symbolic of how the media falsely depicts those in poverty, with the pure aim of entertaining the audience, showing a complete lack of empathy. Similarly, the concept of disrespect was evident in tourists that we saw at the public restaurants we visited throughout the journey; some were excessively drinking, whilst others were littering or using obscene language at local Khmer people. From a personal perspective, a lack of understanding between any individuals, whether they are disadvantaged or advantaged, contradicts Christian values and ideals, making the producer and the other tourists somewhat disrespectful and uncompassionate towards the Mt Druitt and Cambodian community
On behalf of 85% of the country's Christians, it could prove to be the country's most influential lobby group. The council has made proposals to governments on behalf of member churches. It has lobbied governments about the dole, the GST on food and boosting the Aboriginal health budget. It has intensely spoken out against the Australian government's policy of detaining refugees and has requested for children to be freed from detention camps.
Today I am writing to share a few important changes that are taking place at AmeriHealth Caritas.

Caritas processes in a why explains step by step what a social worker will do to help the vulnerable and oppressed by enhancing their human rights. All social workers have a mission and with Caritas Processes, they will be able to accomplish their mission. Social workers mission is to help the most vulnerable and oppressed, and Caritas processes will help social worker. Social workers need to use the ten factors of Caritas processes. When a social worker understands Caritas processes and is able to apply them in practice, social workers will be successful promoting human rights. Social workers need to understand both human rights and Caritas processes to be able to apply them to their clients. When a social worker is able to apply both Caritas processes and human rights, they will be able to help more vulnerable and oppressed people. The world will be in a better place, a change in one person is a change in the world. When people start believing in themselves, they start believing in others and people will start creating trusting-helping relationships. Unfortunately, individuals who are vulnerable and oppressed are individuals who are in poverty. These individuals are more likely to be discriminated which means their human rights are violated. Social workers play an important role, they are the ones to give hope and empower them to
Volunteering for a poverty program, policy group, or community service organization is an experience that will educate oneself and endure an involvement with those who may be in need of assistance for a period of time. When deciding where I wanted to do my volunteer experience for the class I wanted to make sure that I found experience that I would learn from. There were a variety of places that I could choose from that were in the area. For my experience I chose to volunteer at a salvation army in my hometown Springfield, Oh. This is an organizational group that provides services to those who are poor in a variety of ways. The Salvation Army is an organization that has several different branches in various locations. This branch helps in a variety of ways by having summer camps for children, social service programs that offer assistance with topics such as bills, food, clothing, furniture and a variety of other resources. They also provide several different opportunities around Christmas to help with the different assistant groups that they have available.
The Community Insights section located in the center of the HOME page has been created to provide generalist information, tips and resources on a range of cultures with high numbers of care recipients and care workers in Australia.
This organization is a partnered-based charity that brings the church and community together to look after more than one hundred forty-three million orphans worldwide and five hundred thousand American foster children. They also provide food and clean water to over four thousand five hundred children to help fight against famine and disease. This organization helps with adoptions, foster care, orphan care and humanitarian relief services. These acts give high protein food, clean water, medical, educational and spiritual programs. So I’d like to donate that great sum to help children who deserve a better
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have been the first nations, which represented the whole Australian population, for centuries. However, the continuous European colonization has severely affected these peoples and, over the decades, their unique values and cultures, which enriched the life of Australian nation and communities, were not respected and discriminated by numerous restrictive policies. As a result, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have turned into the voiceless minority of the Australian population. Fortunately, in recent years, these issues became the concern of the Australian government, promoting a slight improvement in the well being of native Australians. Nowadays, there are numerous social work
The churches in the world play a huge role in the determination to access of food, clean water, and shelter. No matter what religious affiliation, people will donate money to churches to help this growing problem that has arisen. This is important because churches are a good way to give those in need the supplies they need. The churches give the money raised by the offerings that people donate. This is effective because there are so many churches around the world. If most people donate a little bit of money, a substantial amount of people will be helped. The Christ House is a p...
First, starting organizations can have a major impact. They collect food and they give it away to the people who needs it most. Anyone can donate and its for any homeless person, and this has no cost. These organizations can go in big cities, such as Washington D.C, or maybe even New York City. These locations have
One of the most basic teachings in the Catholic Church is to ?Love one another as I have loved you.? This can be implied towards people living in poverty as we can follow the steps that Jesus had undertaken to love other people even if they are your enemies. By showing love and compassion we can create a world that is aware of poverty issues and help the declination of poverty. Countless organisations are heavily involved in carrying missions to help ultimately eradicate poverty. These charities and organisations include CARITAS, World Vision, Oxfam, St Vincent de Paul and many other non profitable organisations which help carry out work to help those who are in need.
Another reason why I’m doing this project is because people want to provide support for specific types of people, or who simply want to start there own charity with there own causes and goals, for people who want to simply provide for people with specific sicknesses, for example AIDS/HIV or Lung cancer, or maybe who live in specific areas who need support, like Sierra Leone or New Guinea, because these are the places where there is a lot of poverty, people can barely get a bite of food without doing something drastic, some work in diamond mines, where they get very little money, where the diamond that they just mined was worth one million dollars, they are v...
The reformation of the Charity Organizations didn’t grant relief themselves however they served as a resource to simplify the transaction of relief to relief applicants by: maintaining relief applicant requests, records of the aid given to them, and referring those worthy or unworthy to the proper agencies (Trattner, 1999). Their goal was to eradicate fraud and duplicity of services while also maintaining efficiency and treating poverty. The charity organization movement intended to treat poverty by enacting “friendly visitors” to look into each case and define the cause of destitution while also watching for overlapping relief. These “friendly visitors” and their investigations were the cornerstone of the Charity Organization Society’s (C.O.S) treatment; granting aid without investigation was like giving medicine without diagnosis (Trattner, 1999).
