Aid to the Church in Need was initially established in 1947 as a Catholic aid organisation for war refugees and has been recognised as a Pontifical Foun- dation since 2011. Under our guiding principle of “information, prayer and action”, today we are committed to helping Christians across the globe, wherever they are persecuted or op- pressed or suffer material hardships. In addition, we are committed to religious freedom and reconciliation across all faiths. Our foundation does not accept any support from government agencies. However, thanks to hundreds of thou-
sands of benefactors who donate to Aid to the Church in Need, we are now active worldwide with an annual donation volume of 139.3 million euros. This story shows, once again, how practical charity arises from proclaiming one’s faith.
