The Caritas motto is working
 Population: Approximately 16 million
 More than 25% living in poverty (below the poverty line)
 Challenges: Recovering from genocide (during the reign of the Khmer
Rouge), securing land rights and food security, adapting to the impacts of
climate change (including extreme weather events such as drought and
flooding), and lack of freedom and basic human rights.
For more than ten years Caritas has worked in partnership with DPA to help and support
indigenous subsistence farmers in Cambodia. Food security has been enhanced through training
and the existence of co-operatives. Access to safe water has been achieved through new wells,
water filters and toilets. Communities have also been helped to gain legal land titles and forest
patrols have been funded to help protect land against illegal logging and land grabbing.

People living in poverty often live in conditions which cause or exacerbate health
problems. Lack of access to clean water and sanitation exposes people to infection and
diseases such as diarrhoea. Lack of nutritious food causes malnutrition and makes people
more vulnerable to disease. Many such health issues are preventable or treatable, but
people living in poverty are often unable to access and pay for basic healthcare and
medicines. Many poor countries are less capable of funding a functioning public health
system. These problems are compounded in rural areas, where access to healthcare is
even more difficult.
We encounter many examples of injustice where things don’t seem fair or just. Many
revolve around certain structures or human actions within society. Standing up for justice
may involve: changing sexism to gender equality, ending racism and discrimination,
mitigating the effects of climate change on communities, ensuring workers are treated
fairly and are valued, preventing the marginalisation of people from society, stopping the
oppression of people through policy changes, ensuring the powerful don’t abuse their
power, promoting peace instead of violence, and preventing corruption.

 Population: Over 7 million.
 2.4 million people impacted by El Niño weather pattern.
 Challenges: El Niño is threatening food security and water access due to
resulting high temperatures and low rainfall, impacts of climate change
such as coastal erosion forcing islanders to move homes, risk of diseases
due to basic sanitation and hygiene issues not being met.
We are assisting communities in the provinces of West New Britain, Bougainville and Manus to
improve their quality of life by providing agriculture and fishery-based alternative livelihoods,
clean water supply and sanitation and hygiene needs. One part of this project is focused on
supporting villages in West New Britain, as well as a community of Carteret Islanders that have
been relocated (due to coastal erosion) to Tinputz in Bougainville, to grow and sell cocoa.

and more long-term interventions. Whilst addressing early recovery and
resilience, the project also ensures humanitarian needs are met. This includes
providing families with basic needs such as health care, food and water.
