Campaigning to help end world poverty is their ideal goal, and they do this by helping people in when they are most needed, for example, when there are naturally disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, or droughts, so that they can bring change. Like Christian Aid, CAFOD helps people by educating them so that they can get jobs and have the opportunity of providing for themselves. People, who agree with the beliefs of CAFOD, run fundraising events all over England and Wales. CAFOD works in Africa, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe as well as England and Wales.
