The Caritasverband Olpe is an established provider in the social and health care sector of the Olpe district with over 1,700 employees and around 70 facilities. Since its foundation in 1963, the association has offered comprehensive social services in the areas of elderly and sick care, disabled assistance, and child, youth and endangered assistance [1].

In the area of elderly and sick care, the association supports older people and people in need of care through outpatient services, day care and meeting places, stationary senior citizen facilities and service apartments. A special offer is the Caritas hospice service "Camino", which accompanies seriously ill people and their relatives [1][3]. The outpatient care and support services, including the "CariFair" project, guarantee individual support in the home environment and ensure quality and security in care [3].

The disabled assistance includes the "focus Leben und Wohnen" network with offers of outpatient care, day structure and stationary residential places as well as the Werthmann workshops, which offer people with disabilities jobs and promote their participation in working life [1].

The area of child, youth and endangered assistance includes integrative daycare centers, family-oriented counseling centers with educational and early intervention assistance, as well as specialized endangered assistance, which includes debt counseling, addiction counseling and integration services [1].

An important partner is the IN VIA educational institution, an international Catholic women's association that particularly supports girls and young women and offers a wide range of further education and training courses as well as integration and language courses. These offers promote personal and professional perspectives and strengthen social participation [2].

The main mission of the Caritasverband Olpe is to accompany people in every situation in life through expert, empathetic and reliable social services. Values such as charity, solidarity, respect and social justice are at the center of the work [1][5].

The association is expressly committed to sustainability and responsible social work that takes individual life situations into account and promotes the participation of all people. This is reflected in the combination of traditional aid services and modern, digitally supported services, which, for example, reach remote regions via data protection-compliant video consultations [3][5].

As an important regional social service provider, the Caritasverband Olpe combines professional competence with Christian-motivated commitment and thus actively shapes a socially just and sustainable society in the Olpe district.
