History<br />
Caritas is a church based internal organisation. The international head quarter office is in Rome and<br />
<strong>the</strong> national office in Port Moresby. Actually Caritas is some hundreds years old now since it started.<br />
Organisational Aspects<br />
We have 16 permanent staffs and 7 volunteers who have agreed to come on to help or assist when<br />
we come to implementation of activities. Apart from <strong>the</strong> seven volutary based staffs, <strong>the</strong>re are o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
volunteers that are also taken on board depending on <strong>the</strong> programs.<br />
Networking and Institutional Relations<br />
Cariats is an international church based organisation which has many sub-offices in most parts of <strong>the</strong><br />
country (PNG) as well as <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
H as no network except <strong>the</strong> Social Justice sector, where <strong>the</strong> sector helps Caritas in some of <strong>the</strong><br />
programs it runs. Like <strong>the</strong> Child Rights Programs.<br />
Juridical and Legal Aspects<br />
It is formally registered and recognised organisation. Has bylaws and operates under <strong>the</strong> regulation of<br />
principles of <strong>the</strong> organisation. Recognised organisation meaning that <strong>the</strong>government department<br />
responsible knows its existence.<br />
Directors and board members are elected but term of office before <strong>the</strong> next term was not given<br />
Financial Aspects<br />
No funding from o<strong>the</strong>r NGOs or donors. All that we do is funded by Caritas Australia. Then we do <strong>the</strong><br />
acquittals and accoutable reports at <strong>the</strong> end of evry programs.<br />
We also submit a copy of our report to <strong>the</strong> Social Justice sector but that is only when <strong>the</strong>y involve in<br />
