Caritas Schweiz is a charitable organisation committed to preventing and fighting poverty in Switzerland and worldwide in around 20 countries. As well as providing emergency relief in disasters, their work encompasses a vast range of socially essential areas such as support for those on a low income or seeking asylum. 

Caritas-Bergeinsatz is dedicated to supporting the mountain farming community. The goal of the organisation is to connect farmers with volunteers who can ease the workload of farmers during busy periods or emergencies. The scheme is very often vital for the farming community to ensure the farm remains operational, even during times of extreme pressure.

Caritas Care specifically focuses on support for the elderly to provide them with the care they need in their later years, while at the same time retaining their independence. Additionally, Caritas Care provides wages for relatives who act as caregivers and dedicate their time to care.
