Objectives
We at the Caritas Conferences of Germany (CKD) help people who are in need - for example old, lonely, poor or refugees.
We believe that everyone should belong and receive help when they need it.
Our volunteers visit people, listen to them, accompany them in their everyday lives or provide practical help. What is important to us is closeness, humanity and solidarity.
Our goal is a fairer society in which people support each other.
