All child sponsorship programs are not alike. CARITAS For Children has a unique approach to carrying out its mission and a prime example is the way we structure our child sponsorship programs. In all our locations, Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, Haiti, theDominican Republic and Poland we work exclusively with Catholic men and women religious as our ministry partners. Why does CARITAS take this approach?

Conversion stories are deeply personal, Hannah Rafle, CARITAS For Children's Assistant to the Executive Driector, graciously shares her life-changing experience.

When I was growing up, finding God or going to church did not seem practical at all. My family was what I termed “secular Christian”. We celebrated holidays like Christmas and Easter but never touched on the religious aspects. The only time we would attend church is when we visited my grandmother and would go to her Methodist Church.
