The Caritas Nigeria, a leading humanitarian and development arm of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), has expressed its commitment to serving the poor and vulnerable children.
The organisation appealed to Nigerians to support its work, stressing the need for Nigerians to partner with its initiatives due to its extensive network and ability to reach out to people in need.
The Executive Secretary of Caritas Nigeria, Fr. Peter Babangida, made the appeal during walkathon and medical outreach at Durumi Community, Abuja, to mark the 15 years anniversary of the organisation.

NAN also reports that the anniversary provides an opportunity to highlight the organisation’s 15-year journey of touching millions of lives across Nigeria through humanitarian and development interventions.
