Our Mission & Values

Caritas Fiji is guided by the Gospel of love and the Catholic Social Teachings that call us to serve with compassion, justice, and hope. Our mission is to promote human dignity, social justice, and care for our common home by working in solidarity with the poor, marginalized, and vulnerable communities across Fiji.

To achieve this mission, Caritas Fiji is committed to:

Organising the work of Charity

Caritas Fiji coordinates charitable outreach within the Archdiocese and its parishes, ensuring that our collective efforts effectively respond to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor. Through collaboration and faith-driven action, we bring practical support and spiritual care to those most in need.

Building Awareness and Strengthening Faith Communities

We work to deepen understanding of Catholic Social Teachings and Gospel values within small Christian communities. By empowering faith groups to live out these principles, Caritas fosters compassion, justice, and solidarity at the grassroots level.

Enhancing the Capacity of Pastoral Workers

Caritas Fiji provides formation, training, and workshops for pastoral workers to strengthen their capacity in promoting Gospel-centered social and ecological justice. These initiatives enable church leaders and volunteers to serve communities more effectively and advocate for systemic change rooted in Christian values.

Addressing Gender Justice

Recognizing the dignity and equality of all people, Caritas Fiji is committed to promoting gender justice through formation programs for men, women, and youth. We encourage inclusive participation, leadership, and dialogue that uphold respect and equality in all aspects of community life.

Raising Environmental and Climate Change Awareness

Caritas Fiji advocates for ecological conversion by raising awareness on environmental protection and climate change. Through education, advocacy, and community action, we strive to safeguard God’s creation and promote sustainable living for future generations.

Coordinating the Disaster Management Cycle

In times of crisis, Caritas Fiji plays a vital role in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Working with local communities and partners, we ensure timely humanitarian support and long-term resilience-building to restore hope and stability in the aftermath of disasters
