Caritas für Menschen in Not

Caritas für Menschen in Not (Caritas for people in Need) is one of the four institutions of Caritas in Upper Austria. Our mission is to help in times of need, help in everyday life. The main aim of our work is to enable people to look after themselves on their own. We help anyone, regardless of creed, colour, political tendencies or personal fault. We respect peoples' dignity and accept them as they are. We do not work with their deficits, but with their resources. The organisation is a catholic related social service organisation which works in the field of people in special need. This includes projects for particularly disadvantaged people like homeless, asylumseekers and migrants. Service is offered very close to clients, so the target groups can be reached very easily through our social work and counselling. The variety of services covers help and solutions for a big variety of difficult situations in life.
