CARE is one of the world’s largest private humanitarian organizations. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, committed to help families in poor communities & improve their lives. Founded in 1945 to provide relief to survivors of World War II, CARE quickly became a trusted vehicle for the composition and generosity of millions.
CARE international is a body of ten autonomous member organizations based in Australia, Canada, Benmark, Deutschland, France, Japan, Norge, Osterreich, UK and USA.
CARE’s mission has evolved over the decades. CARE continues to provide emergency relief during and after disasters, but the organization today focuses on addressing underlying causes of poverty.
