What CÁRITAS Diócesis Cartagena does

Cáritas Diócesis Cartagena is the diocesan charitable arm of Cáritas Española in Spain's Region of Murcia, operating as a registered religious entity (Registration No. 000285) under the Catholic Diocese of Cartagena since 1955. It runs a decentralized social-services network of 160 parish attention points, supported by 131 paid employees and 2,256 active volunteers, that delivers comprehensive accompaniment to people in poverty and social exclusion across the region.

In 2025 the organization accompanied 84,342 beneficiaries through an integrated portfolio of programs: reception and accompaniment (28,100 people, €3.69M invested), employment integration and training (3,734 participants, 264 training courses), child and youth services (2,691 minors, ~90% academic success), housing and shelter (2,140 people), migrant support, and elderly accompaniment. Specialized service units include Viviendas de Acogida (shelter network), Agencia de Colocación (employment agency intermediating 1,000+ jobs), the Tarjetas Monedero electronic benefit-card system, Plataforma Cáritas Aprende (volunteer e-learning), and the Aula del Futuro digital-skills training space at San Carlos Acutis.

The revenue model combines private donations (42.52% of €13.59M total resources in 2025, from 9,282 individuals and 1,539 companies) with public administration grants (57.48%, drawn from EU, national, regional and municipal sources), supplemented by transaction-linked giving via the CaixaBank Tarjeta Solidaria and commercial revenue from the eh!laboras social insertion enterprise (hospitality, textile, renovation — €1.5M revenue, 33 insertion workers) and the eh! hospitality school (recognized by Guía Repsol 2025). Distribution is community-led through the parish network, with corporate engagement layered via the Empresas Con Valores program and the Mercado de Valores platform.
