CARE is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) with operations in over 100 countries, dedicated to creating local solutions to poverty and inequality. Our mission is to seek dignity for everyone every day, including during times of crisis. Our work spans a broad range of areas, from disaster response and food and nutrition programs to education and empowerment initiatives for women and girls, as well as maternal and child health.
