CEO CARE SOCIAL VENTURES

CARE is an international NGO with local staff and community partners in more than 90 countries. We create local solutions to poverty and inequality and we seek dignity for everyone every day and during times of crisis. These solutions have a broad range, from clean water to access to education; from microfinance to ensuring that everyone has nutritious food; from agriculture and climate change to disaster response. CARE puts women and girls at the center of everything we do because they have proven to be the best hope for creating lasting change in the world. Our staff live where they work, which makes us effective at understanding the challenges they face. We’ve been doing this for over 70 years, since World War II. It started with the world’s first CARE Package® of food for the post-war hungry in Europe. Our work today is as important as ever, we believe that poverty and inequality are historic injustices that we can end within a generation, for good. If you share our core beliefs: poverty is an injustice; poverty is solvable; and together, we have the power to end it, join us, and fight with CARE.

CARE social Ventures core mission is to do more sustainably achieve the SDGs, through social businesses. Our core function is to take international development programs and activities and operate them as sustainable social businesses instead of the traditional model of grant funded programs. CSV Corp. has a 30-year track record, having spun-off over 30 businesses during that time and created on-going businesses that have collectively increased local incomes and capital available by over $3 billion. CARE Social Ventures currently owns and operates the largest pipeline of social businesses in the world.
