We possess the resources and geographic reach to make a meaningful impact on global poverty. We have the skill to use different interventions in different situations, including emergency relief, post-conflict rehabilitation and sustainable development. We combine these interventions to provide a comprehensive approach to reducing poverty at the family level. CARE has worked with the world's poor for 50 years. Every U.S. president since Harry S. Truman has endorsed our work, while the United Nations, the World Bank, the European Community and others often turn to CARE for help in implementing programs.
CARE is a private, non-profit organization.
We are not affiliated with a government agency, religious group or other entity. Our agenda is to help poor families improve their lives. We conform to the highest standards of accounting and financial management. We are approved by the National Charities Information Bureau and provide our audited financial statements upon request. CARE has the international credibility, size and public support to be listened to by government officials in the U.S. and overseas.
