Thanks to property donations from individuals, Caritas Andorra is able to provide rental homes at social and affordable prices. The organisation collaborates with the government by participating in the National Housing Commission and has developed a specific programme aimed at promoting fair and sustainable housing policies, ensuring access to decent housing for everyone in the country.
Beyond its domestic efforts, Caritas Andorra aids victims of disasters and emergencies abroad. For instance, it raised funds for those affected by the 2023 Turkey earthquake and provided humanitarian relief items to those impacted by the 2024 Valenica floods.
Caritas Andorra funds its initiatives through private and corporate donations, including support from the association of Andorran Banks (Andorran Banking), Andorra Telecom, Creand and the Andorran government.
