History
[edit]Caritas Catholica Belgica was founded in 1932 at the initiative of the Belgian bishops as the Katholieke Dienst voor Hygiëne en Hulpbetoon. In 1935, the name became Caritas Catholica Belgica.[3]
In 1982, the organization was split into Caritas Vlaanderen (Caritas Catholica Flanders, Flanders) and Caritas en Communauté Française et Germanophone (Caritas Catholica Wallonia, Wallonia) and Caritas International as a national organization.[4]
