Underpinning CAFOD's work is a deeply held set of values that are central to the organisation's ethos and identity.

We act based on principles of compassion, solidarity, stewardship and hope. Confronted by immense poverty and suffering, CAFOD's most fundamental response is compassion.
CAFOD also stands alongside excluded communities, sharing resources, uniting in prayer, defending rights and challenging the systems that keep people poor.
CAFOD draws its inspiration from Scripture, the Church's social teaching, and the experiences and hopes of the poor. Our mission is to promote human development and social justice in witness to Christian faith and Gospel values.

The street children of Africa need friends. Friends to help them survive, to prevent their abuse, to give them hope and self-respect so that they can look forward optimistically to the future. It was to be a friend to these children, and to help their other friends, that the United Kingdom registered charity Street Child Africa was formed in 1998.

Sight Savers believe that sight is a basic human right, and that everyone - including those in the world's poorest countries - should have access to the treatment and eye care that they need. Sight Savers are important because, as well as providing treatment that can help to restore sight, they also assist with the rehabilitation of those who are irreversibly blind - thereby helping them to make a better future for themselves.
