SCIAF

SCIAF

At SCIAF, in all we do, we are compelled by Christ’s love. We help people in the world’s poorest places to lift themselves out of poverty, work together to protect our common home, and help people recover from disaster.

For five decades we've reached out to our global neighbours in need, irrespective of their race, religion or background, sustained by the generosity and love of Catholics in Scotland.

As part of Caritas, a global Church network with a presence in more than 160 countries, we’re already there when emergencies strike, and will be there long after others have left. Together with local communities we develop local solutions that will make a real and lasting difference.

We help people provide for themselves and their families, start businesses, and learn new skills, creating hope for the future. We stand side by side with communities to build peace and promote justice, so they have power over their own lives.

We are building God’s Kingdom here on earth so that we can all live in His love and justice, free from fear and persecution. We work with people in the hardest circumstances, so they can overcome their daily struggles and the structures of injustice that make and keep them poor. We actively serve those forced to the fringes of society and deprived of opportunity.

We work to prevent disasters and, when disaster does strike, we respond immediately by feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless and rebuilding lives and communities in the long term.

We know that the poorest suffer the most: we will not forsake them.

The SCIAF family is a global community. We believe that a just and green world is possible, if we all come together in love and kindness.

We seek to inspire people to live their faith and build a world where everyone is equal and free from poverty.

Together we pray, we act and we give.

Join us.

David Munyindeyi – Zambia

David Munyindeyi and his family live in Mongu, a remote area of western Zambia where they grow their own food to survive.

Poor soil, increasingly erratic weather and no money meant that the family would often go for days without eating.

Then he heard about the work of SCIAF-funded Caritas Zambia. They are working to help poor farmers improve their land using simple organic farming techniques like composting, minimum tillage and different ways of planting. David received seeds, tools and most importantly, knowledge.

Since then, David has improved the quality of his soil so he gets bigger harvests.

Now he grows maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, ground nuts and vegetables. The family has enough food to eat and David even has extra to sell.

Through the project he also received a bike, which he shares with other families, so that his surplus crops can be taken to market.

With the money he’s earned he has been able to buy solar panels which power an electric light in his home.

Here are some of the ways your gift can help SCIAF with its vital work

A legacy gift of £637 could provide a water lifeline to a community

A legacy gift of £1,088 could provide a water lifeline to a community. For those who live in countries where they grow their own food, water is an absolute necessity. 

£320 can supply emergency shelter for 10 families.

£320 can supply emergency shelter for 10 families. Disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes, as well as war often leave families homeless. A temporary shelter protects people from the elements until a permanent home can be found.

Your legacy gift of £120 can give goats to four families

Your legacy gift of £120 can give goats to four families. A goat will give them up to 12 pints of fresh milk a week and they can sell any extra milk to buy other food.
