About the Employer

Since 1998, CARITAS for Children has built relationships between children from poor countries and adults with the desire to sponsor them. A sponsor provides financial assistance for a Catholic education, daily meals, clothing, and medical care of an orphaned or disadvantaged child. At the same time, the sponsor gains a global perspective, a new member to their family, and a unique spiritual insight into the enriching effects of true charity.
