About us

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

CARE International is a leading humanitarian organisation fighting global poverty, operating in over 100 countries.

Founded in 1945, we work around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice. We seek a world of hope, inclusion and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and all people live with dignity and security.

We place special focus on women and girls, because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.
