📢 Happening tomorrow! Our new #CaritasCARES report reveals why minimum income schemes in Europe often fail to protect those who need them most.

👥 1 in 5 people in the EU are still at risk of #poverty.
🚫 Many - including migrants, young adults, single parents, and homeless people - are excluded by design.

📘 Thriving, Not Just Surviving calls for systems that truly support dignity and inclusion.

*Very* unusual for a pope to do this. Magisterial in tone and form (numbered paragraphs, quoting papal teachings) and targeted (referring to Trump policies and Vance’s justifications), this letter is meant to leave no doubt about where the Church stands. https://t.co/k8FnguWTYB

[Caritas Europa @CaritasEuropa]

We echo @iamCARITAS in calling on the EU to take urgent measures to protect civilians in the #DRC, especially those in the most vulnerable circumstances and those who have been displaced, and to guarantee essential civilian and health infrastructure in accordance with international humanitarian law.

The international community and the parties to the conflict must work actively to find lasting peace.

On 4 Oct., catastrophic floods hit Bosnia and Herzegovina; at least 17 people died and over 40 are still missing.

Beyond addressing urgent needs, @CaritasBiH will help the affected communities restore their livelihoods and homes.

Despite the war, they continue to work with the affected population and plan for the future.
Very impressive!

❗🌊Náš kolega je v Bělé pod Pradědem a Bukovicích. Na Jesenicku za sebou voda zanechala silné stopy.

Podle fotografií je jasné, že potřeba pomoci bude veliká. Zapojte se i vy a přispějte na sbírku CHARITA PRO OBĚTI POVODNÍ. 🙏
