ABOUT CARE

In fiscal year 2018, CARE worked in 95 countries, contributing to saving lives,

defeating poverty and achiev-ing social justice.

Globally CARE directly reached 56 million

people in FY 18

CARE is a leading humanitarian organization dedicated to saving lives and fighting global poverty. Around the world, we work alongside a broad network of partners and allies to help rebuild and improve the lives of the most disadvantaged. CARE places special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE’s community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the

spread of disease, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. We seek to influence the policies and practices that affect the lives of women, girls and the most vulnerable communities through our credible solutions, strong voice on gender and women’s rights, and thought leadership. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.

CARE started its operations in Nepal in 1978 and was one of the first international aid agencies to work in the country. Today, CARE Nepal works to address the systemic and structural causes of poverty and social injustice, such as discrimination based on gender, caste, class and ethnicity; poor governance; and vul-nerability from conflict and natural disasters. CARE Nepal works with marginalized women and adolescent girls to ensure their empowerment, wellbeing and dig-

nity through social transformation. To achieve these goals, we work in partnerships with, for example, state agencies, donors, NGOS, civil society organiza-tions, research institutes and the private sector and also closely collaborate with community members. In particular, we work across the spectrum of humanitar-ian action and longer-term development programming to address gender based violence, women and girls’ leadership and voice, inclusive governance, sexual

reproductive health, livelihoods, food and nutrition security, migration, disaster risk reduction and cli-mate change. CARE draws on its global experience to address the underlying causes of poverty and social injustice, with a particular focus on the most margin-alized and vulnerable women and adolescent girls.

We draw from the strength of the CARE International global network to program across the spectrum of humanitarian action and longer-term development programming. We promote resilient change through

investments in capacity building of our impact popu-lations, partners and local institution and engage in research to generate knowledge and evidence to in-fluence policy formulation and implementation. We also support learning and innovation so as to scale up successful practices for social transformation. CARE is committed to demonstrating diversity, inclusiveness, mutual accountability and cost-efficiencies in all its programs.
