About CARE International
CARE International is one of the world’s top three aid agencies, fighting poverty and injustice in 70 countries around the world and helping 48 million people each year to find routes out of poverty.
Their mission is to create lasting change in poor communities and they put money where it is needed most: more than 90 pence in every pound goes towards their poverty fighting programmes. That’s one of the highest rates among all the UK aid agencies.
With more than 60 years’ practical and hands-on experience, their programmes tackle the deep-seated root causes of poverty, not just the consequences. Just two examples of the way they do this are helping farmers to grow their own food and helping people start small businesses.
They work in partnership with businesses and governments all around the world to help them do their bit to confront poverty too.
They believe passionately in the dignity of all people and make a long-term commitment to stay with the communities they work with until the job gets done. They deal with challenging and complex issues - like HIV and AIDS or conflict – that do not have quick-fix solutions.
They are a pioneering organisation and have constantly improved their work and increased their impact over the years. And with more than 13,000 employees, more than 90 per cent of whom are employed locally, they also have an in-depth knowledge of local issues, cultures and languages.
