Caritas Mongolia is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that works with poor, vulnerable and excluded populations, regardless of gender, race or religion. We achieved our registration as NGO in 2010, in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbataar. Today, we operate locally with 23 staff members and 30 volunteers, but we are part of a much larger whole: Caritas Internationalis, a Vatican-based confederation of more than 160 Catholic aid, development and social justice agencies from around the world. Caritas seeks a world where the voices of the poor are heard and acted upon. This means a world where the poorest and most disadvantaged communities are able to influence the systems, decisions and resources that affect them. Thus, we fight for holding governments, institutions, and global structures fair and accountable. OUR MISSION We facilitate and create integral livelihood opportunities for vulnerable communities. As a professional and sustainable organization, we advocate in partnership with the poor, leveraging local and international volunteers to aid communities in unstable socioeconomic situations. Throughout our programmes, we emphasize six common approaches: Community empowerment, integral human development, care for the environment, gender, disaster risk reduction and innovation. OUR VISION We place humans front and center, because we want people to live free of poverty in a healthy, secure and fair society. These are the values that we advance within the Mongolian society and the world as a whole: Human Dignity, preference for the poor, community and the common good, dignity at work, stewardship of God's creation, Solidarity and pormotion of peace.
