Description

Cáritas Interparroquial de Tortosa is a non-profit, humanitarian and charity organization from the Catholic Church. Cáritas Interparroquial has 7 workers and more than 100 volunteers that work in different programs. Cáritas fights against poverty, exclusions, lack of tolerance and discrimination. Helps people with fewer resources to participate in the issues that concern their own life, but also to be the word at national and international forums. Also, people with the risk of exclusion are helped by giving them shelter for some days, food and resources in case they have problems with the health.
