Caritas Malaysia is inspired by the Gospels and the social teachings of the Catholic Church. We promote integral human development, advocate on the causes of poverty and violence and respond to humanitarian crises. We are called to equip, empower, and animate members of Caritas Malaysia, Catholic communities and all people of good will. We are called to be in solidarity with our disenfranchised brothers, sisters and with all of creation. We work to ensure that our natural environment is managed responsibly and sustainably for all.
Share your gifts, deepen your faith. Become a volunteer and bring Christ's love to life.

The inaugural Caritas Malaysia Annual Report 2020 gives an overview of the ongoing social mission of the Catholic Church in Malaysia through images, narratives and finances of the dioceses. The heroes of Caritas Malaysia’s mission are truly the volunteers and ministry personnel on the ground, in all our parish communities and dioceses.
As part of future annual reports, the Caritas national office will continue compiling these efforts into a family album – and like any family album it will help us to get to know other family members, their respective situations, efforts and needs. And we pray that it will eventually become our family story – a chronicle of our shared heritage, which we can share widely with all, with joy – supporting one another amid our challenges, and working together to uplift others.

Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service.
