Together, we are Changemakers.

We work with women and girls – because you can’t fight poverty without fighting inequality.

We work alongside communities – because change only happens when people are empowered to lead, participate and act.

We aim to be a catalyst for change, supporting women, girls and families to gain control of their own futures.

Together, we can save lives, fight poverty, and achieve social justice.

We seek a world of hope, inclusion and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and all people live in dignity and security.

We put women and girls in the centre because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.

CARE currently works in 104 countries, supporting millions of the world’s poorest people to find routes out of poverty.

We are there to provide life-saving assistance when disaster strikes, and to help people rebuild their lives afterwards.

And we are there to work alongside people and communities on long-term programmes to deliver lasting change.

Our programmes and our policy work tackle the systemic causes of poverty so that people can gain the power to change their own lives. We place special focus on empowering women and girls because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the ability to lift whole families and communities out of poverty.

We inspire and encourage participation at every opportunity and with everyone we work with.

We’re experts at working with women and girls and their communities to overcome the complex drivers of poverty.

We are over 11,000 people working across over 100 countries. 95% of us are nationals of the countries we work in. We work with and alongside communities to support people to realise their power, elevate their voices, and achieve the change that they choose.

Because together, we are Changemakers.
