Core offering

Caritas Indonesia (Yayasan KARINA) coordinates and delivers humanitarian social services across Indonesia through five core programs: Emergency Response and Disaster Risk Reduction (ER-DRR), Diocesan Accompaniment, Climate Change Adaptation (API/CCA), Health and Nutrition, and Migrant/Refugee/Anti-Human Trafficking. It operates as the official humanitarian agency of the Indonesian Bishops' Conference (KWI), channeling donor contributions and grants into grassroots service delivery via 37 diocesan Caritas organizations.

Product overview

Caritas Indonesia (KARINA) operates as a coordination, facilitation, and animation center for Catholic Church social-pastoral organizations in Indonesia, functioning as a humanitarian social service organization rather than a technology product company. The organization delivers five interconnected programmatic areas: Emergency Response & Disaster Risk Reduction (ER-DRR), Diocesan Accompaniment Program, Climate Change Adaptation (API/CCA), Health and Nutrition (with focus on stunting prevention), and Migrant/Refugee & Anti-Human Trafficking programs. These programs work through a network of Diocesan Caritas organizations, collaborating with the Indonesian Bishops' Conference (KWI), Caritas Internationalis (165 countries), and various stakeholders to provide humanitarian services without distinguishing religion, ethnicity, race, or class.
