Martyrs of Charity

The 25th symbolises the feast of the Martyrs of Charity, instituted by the Order to commemorate the 300 Camillian martyrs who died bearing witness to the fourth vow, to serve the sick even at the risk of their own lives. The same day is the anniversary of the birth of St. Camillus de Lellis.

The Camillian Martyrs were not simply figures of the past; their stories resonate with the same courage and devotion that inspire caregivers today. They lived and died embodying the Camillian charism: to serve the sick even at risk of their own life. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CARRYING THE TORCH
Today, CADIS International continues the legacy of the Camillian Martyrs. We work tirelessly to provide emergency relief, and social services to vulnerable communities around the world. Inspired by the Martyrs' example, we strive to bring hope and healing to those in need, regardless of their background or circumstances. 

 

 

 

 

 

THE NEED IS GREAT
The challenges facing our world are immense, and the need for compassionate action is greater than ever. Just as the Camillian Martyrs answered the call to serve, we invite you to join us in making a difference. Your support enables us to continue providing vital services, reaching those who are most vulnerable, and carrying forward the legacy of the Martyrs of Charity.


YOUR GIFT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Every contribution, of whatever nature or amount, truly has a direct impact on the lives of those we assist. Just to get a concrete idea of what we will do, over the course of this year, your generosity will help us in:

 

  • POLAND: Economic support to cover expenses (electricity, heating, gas) of the Łomianki facility where about 50 Ukrainian mothers and children are housed. We have estimated an amount of €19,500 for six months. With 65€ we can guarantee per person, for one month, hot water, heating and hot meals prepared in the kitchen by them.
  • PHILIPPINES: Community trainings on collective and domestic violence, anxiety and depression, psychological traumas, substance abuse, and suicide prevention empowerment and mental health promotion for 400 women in Cebu City slums. The implementation of the seminars will last one and a half years with a projected cost of 30,000 €. With 75€ per person we can guarantee every woman a pathway to mental health care.
  • KENYA: Construction of two boreholes and two water storage towers in Wajir County, affected by persistent drought, to provide drinking water for 3,000 households, livestock and crops. The cost estimate provided by a local construction company is 137,000 €. With 45€ we can provide a family with clean and available water forever.

 

 

 

OUR IMPACT
In 2024:
→ We provided 11 interventions around the world assisting 5,850 families affected by crisis and disasters;
→ We responded to 7 emergencies in Kenya, Tanzania, Thailand and the Philippines, 1 ethnic conflict in India, and 3 ongoing resilience programs in Kenya, Poland and the Philippines;
→ We collected testimonies from the beneficiaries in different countries.
