Building a future for all: Day of Prayer for Refugees and Migrants
Caritas promotes authentic human development. This means development of the whole person. It provides for their economic, cultural, political, social and spiritual wellbeing.

Our partners Caritas Bangladesh and Catholic Relief Services Bangladesh work to help people living in these camps, sharing love in action. Their community-based support programme, the BareFoot Counsellors Project, is helping Rohingya communities feel empowered, safe, and have hope for their futures.
The resources this year focus on the Rohingya Crisis, reminding us of the terrible reality that thousands of people are faced with every day, and challenging us to think about what we can do to ensure their inclusion in the construction of the future.

We are welcoming migrants and refugees in a number of ways, through events such as the annual Day of Prayer for Refugees and Migrants, ongoing funds for the Rohingya Appeal, and advocacy against migrant exploitation in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We invite you to join us in encountering our neighbors to welcome, promote, protect and integrate. Donate online to help us continue to support those in Bangladesh.
