Relief Efforts in Egypt

CARE International is a global confederation of 15 member organizations – Austria, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Thailand, United Kingdom, and United States – working together to end poverty.

CARE Egypt works to promote and support quality education and girls’ leadership, more effective and equitable natural resource management to enhance rural livelihoods, effective governance and civic engagement, and equitable social protection for vulnerable groups – especially women. CARE is actively involved in development programming particularly in Upper Egypt, where more than 50 percent of the nation’s poor live.

CARE works with program participants, civil society organizations, government, aid agencies, networks, community-based associations and the increasingly socially aware Egyptian private sector.

CARE’s work in Egypt began in 1954 with the introduction of a nationwide school meals program.

CARE Egypt became a CARE International member in 2021.
