CARE focuses on developing the potential of women to drive long-lasting, equitable change. We challenge discriminatory practices that exclude the most marginalised, help implement measures to ensure systems of good governance and address the inadequacies of essential public services.
By collaborating with government departments, leading corporations and civil society partners, CARE enables the poorest of the poor to access quality education, understand and receive their healthcare entitlements, discover greater livelihood opportunities and recover from disaster.
Our work is driven by the communities we serve
CARE places special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty.
Women are at the heart of CARE’s community-based efforts to improve education, reduce malnutrition, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources.
By developing the potential of women, CARE helps millions of people effect real, positive changes in their lives, every year.
