CARE is one of the world's largest private international relief and development organizations. Founded in the aftermath of World War II, CARE enabled Americans to send more than 100 million CARE Packages® to survivors of the conflict in Europe and Asia. CARE has become a leader in sustainable development and emergency aid, reaching tens of millions of people each year in more than 60 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. For more than 50 years now, CARE has been a vehicle of American generosity abroad.
CARE reaches out to people whose lives are devastated by humanitarian emergencies, or who are struggling each day in poor communities to survive and improve their lives. CARE focuses its approach at the family and community levels. We believe that each family should enjoy a basic level of livelihood security. This means that every family should have:
Food;
Health care;
A place to live;
Education;
A safe and healthy environment; and,
The ability to participate in decisions affecting their family, community and country.
CARE's programs seek to help poor families obtain this security. CARE seeks a world of tolerance and social justice, where people have overcome poverty and live in dignity and security.
Why Support CARE?
The Faces of CARE: Each year, around the world, CARE provides hope and opportunity to tens of millions of men, women and children.
Lasting Results: CARE's programs are based on partnerships emphasizing community participation and capacity-building, both factors that have proven critical to local ownership and sustainability. CARE programs leave a lasting legacy in human and social capital.
Excellence in Action: CARE looks at the big picture of poverty and combines approaches to attack not just the symptoms, but the underlying causes as well. This holistic approach results in diverse and innovative solutions, including programs that build capacities of local organizations, that advance girls' education and equity for women, that promote land mine safety and conflict resolution and that integrate human rights concerns with humanitarian assistance.
Global Reach: CARE is one of the largest private international relief and development organizations in the world. Together with our partners from CARE International and hundreds of local organizations, we have the skills and organizational reach to make a significant impact on poverty.
Efficiency and Accountability: More than 90 percent of CARE's expended resources support program activities. Less than 10 percent of expended resources support administrative and fundraising expenditures. We conform to the highest accounting and financial standards.
Credibility and Experience: CARE has more than 50 years of experience working with poor families and communities. Every U.S. president since Harry Truman has endorsed our work. The United Nations, the European Community and other international organizations often turn to CARE to implement programs.
Flexibility: CARE's long and wide-ranging experience means that we can respond quickly and effectively to a full range of situations, from providing lifesaving emergency relief, to rehabilitation in the wake of disaster, to support for long-term development.
Independence: CARE is a private, nonprofit organization. We are not affiliated with any government agency, religious group or other entity. Our overriding goal is to help poor families improve their lives.
Advocacy: CARE has the international stature and public support to help influence policy decisions in the United States and overseas. Our on-the-ground experience and independence lend us nonpartisan credibility and respect. We use these, very selectively, to advocate in favor of policies that will help foster development, peace and justice.
Our Promise
Your support of CARE is a critical catalyst to worldwide programs that provide relief and alleviate poverty. In carrying out this work, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of respect, integrity, commitment and excellence. <<< |
