Billions of people across this planet live a life of poverty and desperation. They did not choose their circumstances nor can they change them. Their plight is difficult to confront but impossible to ignore. From human trafficking to the effects of malnutrition and world hunger, the poignant images and personal stories in this book allow us to meet these people, whose resilience and spirit, though fragile, remains uncrushed. Many cling to the hope that their lives will change, and our hope is that this moving portrait will inspire others to find solutions...to be the change.
Written by philanthropist Howard G. Buffett, this beautiful and powerful book will inspire you to take action. Learn more about "Fragile" and the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, a key partner of CARE, here.

In this groundbreaking book, management expert Mary Cantando examines the stories of women in the developing world who, with help from CARE, have capitalized on personal and professional opportunities, contributed to their communities, influenced their physical environment and overcome discrimination on the road to establishing self-sufficiency. Structured around the five principles of CARE's mission statement, the author pairs these women's stories with stories from the lives of successful corporate executive women in the United States to show how women who are worlds apart can draw from each other's experiences for inspiration and learning. Perfect for women entrepreneurs, "Leading with Care" contains practical lessons about building businesses and self-sufficiency, in any economy, in any nation, and illustrates the power of women everywhere to create their own secure future.

The accomplishments of ordinary women in developing and war-ravaged countries who have broken through the barriers of oppression to make a positive difference in their communities is brilliantly told through radiant photography and riveting profiles. The heroic examples set by these women, whose bravery and determination enabled them to move beyond victimization to leadership, speak to the universal themes of courage, empowerment, and human rights. As part of CARE's campaign to empower women everywhere, Women Empowered reveals how determined women of all ages have effectively turned their struggles into triumphs.
