They are grouped together under the umbrella of the Caritas Luxembourg Confederation ([[French language|French]]: ''Confédération Caritas Luxembourg''). These organisations work across various sectors in Luxembourg, focusing on vulnerable populations including [[migrants]], [[refugees]], the [[homeless]] and other individuals living in poverty. Other programmes focus on children and youth. A department is dedicated to the implementation of [[development aid|international cooperation]] and [[humanitarian aid|humanitarian]] projects abroad.
== Structure ==
Caritas Luxembourg is not a single legal entity but comprises four separate legal entities, all bearing the name Caritas. These entities share the same values and work complementarily. Each organisation has its own management and governance structure. Representatives from these four organizations convene in the informal Governing Board of Caritas Luxembourg (''Conseil de Gouvernance de Caritas Luxembourg''), presided over by [[Marie-Josée Jacobs]], a former government minister.<ref name=AnnualReport22/>
The four legal entities are:
* ''Fondation Caritas Luxembourg'' (FCL): a [[foundation]] working with migrants and refugees in Luxembourg, and implementing international cooperation and [[humanitarian aid|humanitarian]] projects abroad.
* ''Caritas Accueil et Solidarité'' (CAS): an association working with unhoused people, people in poverty
* ''Caritas Jeunes et Familles'': an association and a social service provider for the Ministry of Education operating day care centres for children, youth work, and the youth group YoungCaritas
* ''Caritas Enfants et Familles'': an association operating a daycare centre.
In 2022, the four organisations employed more than 1,000 employees and worked with over 360 volunteers and 200 interns and trainees.<ref name=AnnualReport22/>
== Work ==
In 2022, Caritas Luxembourg assisted more than 31,000 persons in Luxembourg. Core initiatives are its four social grocery stores and its ''Kleederstuffen'' ("clothing halls"), providing essential support to people for basic needs like food, clothing, and heating. The organisation supports thousands of individuals in integrating through work or occupation, promoting self-sufficiency and stability, and provides socio-educational support in more than 20 accommodation centres for [[asylum seekers]] and [[refugees]].<ref name=AnnualReport22/><ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.spendchen.lu/ |title= Centre de Collecte et de Tri pour les dons vestimentaires | website= spendchen.lu |access-date= 29 April 2024}}</ref>
Caritas Luxembourg also assists people in securing emergency accommodation and housing. This includes operating the ''Wanteraktioun'' ("winter action") night shelter, operate together with the [[Luxembourg Red Cross]] and Inter-Actions, the Ulysse Center, and two night stops dedicated to homeless individuals. Additionally, Caritas Luxembourg operates two shelters specifically for victims of human trafficking and oversees 242 social housing units, providing shelter to approximately 820 individuals.<ref name=AnnualReport22/><ref name=wanteraktioun>{{cite web |url= https://gouvernement.lu/en/actualites/toutes_actualites.gouv_mfsva+en+actualites+2023+wak2324.html |title= Launch of the Winter Action (Wanteraktioun - WAK) 2023/2024 |date= 14 November 2023 |website= gouvernement.lu |access-date= 29 April 2024}}</ref><ref name=ulysse>{{cite web |url= https://lequotidien.lu/politique-societe/patience-pour-le-centre-ulysse/ |title= Patience pour le Centre Ulysse |date= 14 November 2022 |website= [[Le Quotidien (Luxembourg)|lequotidien.lu]] |access-date= 29 April 2024}}</ref>
Another large target group are children and young people, for whom Caritas offers a range of services such as 23 nurseries and daycare centres, along with three youth centers. Dedicated support services like the counselling service ''Kanner-JugendTelefon'' are complemented by recreational activities such as summer camps and other youth activities.<ref name=AnnualReport22/><ref>{{cite web |url= https://delano.lu/article/counselling-hotline-opens-to-e |title= Counselling hotline now open to English-speaking parents |last= Palms | first=Jeff |date= 28 October 2023 |website= delano.lu |access-date= 29 April 2024}}</ref>
Internationally, Caritas Luxembourg engages in development aid and humanitarian projects across several countries, addressing humanitarian challenges in places like [[South Sudan]], [[Syria]] and [[Ukraine]]. The organisation is one of the NGO partners of [[DG ECHO]].<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.dgecho-partners-helpdesk.eu/download/referencedocumentfile/234 |title= List of Non-Governmental Organisations certified as EU Humanitarian partners for the period 2021- 2027 |date= |website= dgecho-partners-helpdesk.eu |access-date= 20 April 2024}}</ref> This action is complemented by the work of its advocacy programme ''Plaidons responsable'' ("Let's plead responsible") which work on campaigns such as "Rethink Your Clothes".<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.rtl.lu/news/national/a/2189436.html |title= "*****" Textilsecteur ginn et gréisser Erausfuerderungen |date= 24 April 2024|website= rtl.lu|access-date= 25 April 2024}}</ref>
