Charity in Action
About
CESK is the Caritas and social service office of the Catholic Eparchy of Keren. Inspired by the Gospel and the social teaching of the Church, it carries out the Eparchy’s works of charity and development together with parishes, religious communities and partners.
Preference for the Poor
We give first attention to those in greatest need — families in hardship, the sick, the elderly and children.
Solidarity
We work hand in hand with communities, so that help today becomes self-reliance tomorrow.
