CARE is a leader within a worldwide movement dedicated to ending poverty. From emergency response to long-term sustainable solutions, CARE is known for our unshakeable commitment to the dignity of all people.
We work to empower women and girls, so we can effectively address the root causes of poverty and create pathways to economic freedom for all. We do this in partnership with men and boys and community leaders locally, regionally, and globally.
Since its founding in 1945, CARE has always been there. From the first CARE Packages® delivering assistance to post-war Europe to responding to every major global crisis since. Our long-term development programs and trusted local leadership continue to impact the lives of millions around the world. Learn more about our history.
