Emergency videos

Watch film clips showcasing how CAFOD works through local partners in times of crisis around the world

When an emergency strikes, CAFOD often acts through Caritas - made up of local Catholic church agencies on the ground, providing relief to communities in the immediate aftermath, as well as more long-term.

In Darfur, Sudan, we work as part of ACT/Caritas, a group of faith-based agencies.
