CARE International

About the Company

“We fight poverty and injustice to help create a more equal and gender-just world.”

CARE International is a 75-year-old global confederation working to fight poverty and social injustice in the world, with a specific focus on the empowerment of women and girls. We work side-by-side with communities to understand the root causes of poverty and find innovative, locally-led solutions. CARE seeks to demonstrate the results and methodologies used in our projects to ensure transparency and accountability and advance the quality of our work.

Our Vision

• We seek a world of hope, inclusion, and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and all people live in dignity and security.

Our Mission

• CARE International works around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty, and achieve social justice.

Our Focus

• We put women and girls in the center of our work because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.

What we do

CARE tackles the underlying causes of poverty and social injustice to deliver lasting change in the lives of poor and vulnerable people.

CARE’s Impact Areas

CARE’s six impact areas drive progress toward our overall goal of ending poverty. We focus on these specific impact areas for two reasons. Firstly, because they are critical barriers to poverty reduction, and secondly, because they are areas where CARE has developed world-class expertise at all levels of our global network.

• Crisis Response,
• Gender Equality,
• Climate Justice,
• Right to Health,
• Right to Food, Water, and Nutrition,
• Women’s Economic Justice, and
• Advocacy and Campaigns.
