Meet Rajiya

CARE was created in 1945To send packages to

soldiers and eventually grew from packages to

projects

women placed at the center of the

fight

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

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.”
