Education for everyone: Caritas starts initiative for children affected by war!
Wien, Österreich - Vienna, February 05, 2025-In a remarkable step, Caritas Austria and the Waldviertel organic bakery "Joseph Brot" are involved with the "Caritas school bread" initiative for children in war and crisis areas. Every child deserves access to education, but 251 million children worldwide are prevented from learning to learn due to conflicts, natural disasters or poverty. In order to support this important mission, 10 percent of the proceeds from the specially created primeval bread will flow into Caritas education projects, which will be available between February 15 and 15 March 15 in the bakery in Vienna, Linz, Salzburg and the Waldviertel bakery. According to Andreas Knapp, General Secretary for International Programs of Caritas, the effects of a lack of access to formation have long -term, serious consequences for the future of these children.
human rights for people with disabilities
At the same time, Caritas urgently calls for improvements to people with disabilities in Austria on the anniversary of the UN Disabled Rights Convention of 2008. Caritas President Nora Tödtling-Musenbichler warns that numerous affected people have been waiting for the implementation of fundamental human rights for years. She emphasizes that the lack of inclusive education and labor market integration as well as the deficits in the availability of personal assistance are no longer acceptable. Despite the latest steps to improve the situation, according to Tödtling Musenbichler, the implementation of the UN Convention is inadequate, which is due to serious inequalities between the federal states. In addition, many people with disabilities, especially those with learning difficulties or mental illnesses, are denied the necessary support.In the context of education initiatives and the fight against inequality, it can be seen that Caritas plays an important role in both Austria and internationally to help disadvantaged groups. This is what Caritas faces a double challenge: While she is fighting for children in crisis areas, she also calls for improving living conditions for people with disabilities in her own country, as reported in a contribution by Kathpress.
