SCIAF is the official relief and development agency of the Catholic Church in Scotland. OUR VISION A just world, free of poverty, where we flourish and live in harmony with each other and all creation. OUR MISSION Compelled by Christ’s love, we work with those in the world’s poorest places to end poverty, protect our common home, and help people recover from disaster. We inspire loving action in the Scottish Catholic community to sustain our work. OUR APPROACH Compelled by Christ’s love, we help people in the world’s poorest places to lift themselves out of poverty, work together to protect our common home, and help people recover from disaster. For five decades we’ve reached out to our global neighbours in need, irrespective of their race, religion or background, sustained by the generosity and love of Catholics in Scotland. We work in partnership with local and church organisations, supporting communities across Africa, Asia and Latin America, to bring about lasting change. We put pressure on governments to care for the planet and create a fairer, more peaceful world.
