CAFOD - Catholic Agency for Overseas Development
CAFOD is a major British charity that has been fighting third world poverty since 1962. We believe that all human beings have a right to dignity and respect and that the world's resources are a gift to be shared by all men and women, whatever their race, nationality or religion.
We raise money for work in Asia, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe to finance:
- Long Term Development Work
- Emergencies
- Analysis
- Campaigns
- Education
CAFOD (Brentwood) operates from Chigwell.
