Hope in times of crisis: Caritas Carinthia would like to thank you for your great commitment!
Caritas Carinthia looks back on a challenging year 2024, which was marked by high costs of living, natural disasters and outbreaks of violence. In the midst of these dark clouds, many people offered light and hope, as director Ernst Sandriesser gratefully emphasized in an open letter. The support of donors and volunteers was essential to help families in need, such as by providing food and emergency shelter. This humanitarian assistance was vital for single parents who are particularly suffering under the circumstances and those who seek advice and support on a daily basis. Sandriesser emphasizes that Caritas will continue to work for the weakest in the coming year. The challenges remain and the need for support is urgent, as is the case klick-kaernten.at determines.
Commitment in Zambia
Meanwhile, Dietmar and Katrin Brunner are involved in the “Help for Life” project in Mushili, Zambia. The two, who have been missionaries since 1998, report on the precarious situation in Zambia, where the economy is suffering and people often only receive a few hours of electricity per day. This situation is the result of the lack of rain in the last rainy season, which not only reduces electricity production but also exacerbates deforestation in the country. Their work is based on a sustainable agricultural approach that recommends alternative farming methods and aims to increase the yields of small farmers. They are currently developing an agroforestry system that will support the cultivation of crops. Despite the difficult circumstances, the Brunners show that the local population is able to take responsibility and continue the project independently while reporting on their work in Germany Liebenzell.org.
It is therefore clear that in both Carinthia and Zambia the commitment of individuals miraculously touches the lives of those in need. Solidarity and support are essential to bring light into dark times.
