CARE is a global humanitarian organization providing disaster relief to areas in crisis, while providing long-term solutions to poverty around the world. CARE works with poor communities to help them become self-sufficient and advocate for policies at local, regional and national levels to improve gender equity and address the underlying causes of poverty. We currently focus on emergency and development programs on Food & Nutrition Security and Climate Change; Emergency response; Sexual, Reproductive & Maternal Health and Women’s Economic Empowerment.
