Caritas Arua Diocese started in 1986 as a relief office after the return of refugees from Congo and Sudan. By that time Caritas’ main services were to give out food and tents but due to increased demand for food, Social Services Development (SSD) now Caritas turned its services into provision of farm tools and agricultural inputs.By 1994 SSD became a fully-fledged office of its own. Caritas is the Social Services and Development arm of Arua Diocese entrusted with the socio-economic ministry of the Catholic Church (i.e. Integral Human Development) in this Diocese.
