CARE currently works in 104 countries, supporting millions of the world’s poorest people to find routes out of poverty. We are there to provide life-saving assistance when disaster strikes, and to help people rebuild their lives afterwards.
And we are there to work alongside people and communities on long-term programmes to deliver lasting change. Our programmes and our policy work tackle the systemic causes of poverty so that people can gain the power to change their own lives. We place special focus on empowering women and girls because equipped with the proper resources, women have the ability to lift whole families and communities out of poverty.
We work with women and girls – because you can’t fight poverty without fighting inequality. We work alongside communities – because change only happens when people are empowered to lead, participate and act. We aim to be a catalyst for change, supporting women, girls and families to gain control of their own futures. Together, we can save lives, fight poverty, and achieve social justice.
