Caritas Serbia

During and after the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, Caritas Serbia was involved in relief efforts by continuing distributions to individuals and collective centres such as health and educational facilities.

[4] During the devastating 2014 floods, Caritas Serbia launched a large-scale humanitarian response, providing food, hygiene items, and livestock feed to 5,200 affected families.

[4] In the aftermath of the floods, the organisation also solidified its reputation as a key civil society expert in disaster risk reduction by developing specialised programmes tailored for primary schools.

Caritas Serbia staff created awareness-raising materials on how to respond to natural disasters, including posters and colouring books, and organised hundreds of school workshops and numerous roundtable discussions in municipalities over the years.

The diocesan Caritas organisations support people affected by poverty in Serbia and contribute therewith to social integration.
