"Aid to the Church in Need" is an international pastoral aid
organization of the Catholic Church, which yearly offers financial support
to more than 8000 projects worldwide. We try to help Catholics in need
wherever they are repressed or persecuted and therefore prevented from
living according to their faith.
Following a 1984 decree of the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy, "Aid
to the Church in Need" was recognized by the Catholic Church as a
"universal public association of faithful".

Cape
Town (South Africa) is a beautiful city, but there are thousands on her
streets, in her suburbs, shack settlements and surrounding rural areas
that suffer hunger, illness, disease and despair. Over the last thirty
years, CWD has established over twenty projects in response to the suffering
and difficulties experienced by people and communities in and around the
Cape.
We invite you to read about this diverse range of projects. CWD is the
welfare and development arm of the Catholic Archdiocese of Cape Town.
