CARE
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 USA is one of the world’s largest humanitarian and development organizations in the world fighting global poverty. Founded in 1945 in the wake of World War II, CARE has evolved over time from our famous CARE Packages of life-saving food to long-term development projects. Our work is centered around and built with the leadership of local partners and local communities with a special lens of always putting women and girls at the center of our approach. During 2020, CARE worked in over 100 countries, reaching more than 90 million people through 1,300 projects.
CARE USA has launched its new, four-year strategy, which prioritizes three “impact drivers”: gender equal, locally led, globally scaled. Together, these impact drivers will enable us to accelerate and deepen our impact, putting us on a path to meet our ambitious 2030 impact goals, while also leading the sector in doing the critical work of de-colonization, shifting power, and transforming the organization. At the heart of our strategy is transformation, change, and embracing new ways of working.
