CARE is engaged in a broad-based attack on poverty in the developing world.
CARE's fundamental mission is to help families acquire the skills and resources they need to improve their lives. Reproductive health is a key component in CARE's worldwide strategy to alleviate poverty and promote human dignity. All families face difficult choices, but the dilemmas are amplified for poor families in developing countries. Too often one basic need must be weighed against another before a family invests scarce resources into health care. These are choices that can have devastating consequences.
