The Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF) is the official aid and development agency of the Catholic Church in Scotland and a member of Caritas Internationalis.

“It is not a dream to expect everyone in the world to have enough food and clean water, and to be able to live with dignity.”

Neil Alexander from Paisley gives up his time to help our work in the SCIAF office, meaning every penny goes where it is needed most.

Here in ScotlandOver 200 dedicated volunteers gave 7,000 hours of their free time to make our work possible. We visited over 240 schools and parishes to say thank you and show you how you’re making a difference.
