Who we are.

SCIAF (Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund) is the official aid and development agency of the Catholic Church in Scotland. We help some of the world’s poorest people, regardless of religion, and campaign to change the root causes of poverty.

In our work we support over 60 projects in more than 15 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. We believe that all people have a right to live in dignity, hold their own beliefs, and share in the world’s resources.

We're uniting to end poverty.

Across the world, the gap between rich and poor is getting bigger, but we can end poverty if we all come together

Our mission.

To help the poorest free themselves from poverty by equipping them with the tools they need. A world without poverty, where the poorest can survive and thrive.

Our approach.

Inspired by the gospel, we tackle the causes of poverty and injustice.

We reach out with love to those in need, regardless of age, race or relgion.

We believe in supporting the whole person, including their spiritual wellbeing, political voice, cultural and community life. 

Let's help the poorest survive and thrive.
