We live in an interdependent world. We are nearly six billion people, one billion families, united by complex ties of commerce, communication and culture. We share the same planet and its finite resources, and by extension, we are partners in forging a common fate. And yet, as the century draws to a close, we are divided as never before by a widening chasm of economic inequality-a chasm that ultimately threatens those on each side.
CARE exists to help families bridge the divide and find lasting solutions to poverty.
In this context, a gift to CARE is both social investment in a more secure global future, and a meaningful way to help poor families escape the pain of poverty and realize their human potential. This document lays out our case and asks for your support.
