Caritas believes the Millennium Development Goals must be met because we made a promise and a deep moral commitment. The lives of millions of people around the world have already improved.
We’d like to share the information and resources on this website with as many people as possible. So please email friends and colleagues. The more people who support the Millennium Development Goals, the greater the pressure on governments to live up to their promises.

“There is now a real danger that the Millennium Development Goals will be remembered as empty words. This can only fuel the cynicism with which so many people in developing countries already regard rich countries’ expressions of concern.”
Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga,
Archbishop of Tegucigalpa and President of Caritas Internationalis.
