Facing today’s challenges, together
For 80 years, CARE has been a beacon of hope in the world. It began with the first CARE Package® box in 1946, reaching millions in post-World War II Europe. Today, CARE reaches communities in 121 countries, touching the lives of 53 million people in 2024 alone. As we define our future, we reaffirm our commitment to save lives and defeat poverty by standing with women, families, and communities in the U.S. and worldwide.
The world faces significant and interconnected crises. Global human suffering demands our urgent and sustained action. Yet, in the face of this demand, there has been a dramatic retreat from humanitarian and international leadership, beginning in the U.S. and deepening as other countries have followed suit. CARE refuses to step back and our commitment remains clear: We will stand with the people who need us most, wherever they are. We will use our experience, trusted brand, and sector leadership to ensure that compassion is not a casualty of crisis, but a force for good.
Our strategy is a bold reaffirmation of this commitment. CARE will continue to lead, advocate, and co-create with our partners as they respond to crisis, sustain their communities, and rise from poverty.
