QUICK PSA!
CARE’s mission: to serve individuals and families
in the poorest communities in
the world
Meet Rajiya
CARE was created in 1945To send packages to
soldiers and eventually grew from packages to
projects
Executive team and board staff oversee organization
while CARE Action Network spreads the word (reaches out
to 84 countries!)
CARE does a LOT but focuses on
Disaster relief and women’s empowerment
each
(supports over 1000 projects)
• Disaster Relief

• Women’s Empowerment
• Health

CARE aids in the prevention of HIV/AIDS with
women placed at the center of the
fight
PEPFAR partners
with CARE to distribute
antiretroviral drugs
By 2020, 100 million women and children
exercise freedom of their own rights
CARE helps to empower women through
education and business
And educate men to be
less violent
In 2013, they Made £39.2m and
spent £34.5m on charitable objectives
CARE is a highly
creditable charity
But not without flaws…
“CARE Turns Down US Food Aid” - TIMES
Care promotes sustainability within the
country itself but welcomes outside help too
While CARE has made much
progress, there are still many
steps to a socially and
economically just world
“ A world of hope, tolerance
and social justice, where poverty has
been overcome and people live in dignity and
security.”
