They raised money to help a mother and baby health
care scheme in the
Caribbean Island of Dominica.

CAFOD works for all people - whether they are black or white, Christian or Muslim, women or men, young or old. This is because we believe that we are made in God’s image, and God made all people equal.

Now nearly fifty years old, CAFOD is still helping those in need by supporting development and emergency projects all around the world.
It can do this because people in England and Wales give their time and money generously.

Sometimes our job is to work quickly in an emergency. An emergency can be
a natural disaster like droughts, floods and earthquakes.
Or it can be because of ‘conflict’ or fighting.
