About CARE
At the heart of what we do is a culture of compassion and commitment to social justice. CARE, founded in 1945, has evolved into one of the world's leading humanitarian organizations focused on fighting poverty and delivering emergency relief in times of crisis. Our mission transcends just immediate aid; we strive to empower communities, especially women and girls, as key agents of change.
Caring for those in need, we work in over 121 countries, reaching millions with transformative programs that address the root causes of poverty and inequality. We believe that when women and girls are empowered, entire communities flourish. Our staff, comprised of 96% local professionals, ensures a quick response to emergencies and an understanding of the unique challenges faced by the communities we serve. Every dollar donated helps support lifesaving interventions, with 90% of our expenditures directed towards program services.
