About Care
Today’s humanitarian crises are more complex than at any time in the last 15 years, and they now last nearly three years longer. This makes it harder to reach everyone who needs support. The consequences are devastating as families struggle to find shelter, get enough food, and rebuild their lives safely.
CARE prioritises long-term solutions, not just short-term fixes. Our work focuses crisis response, food and water, shelter, health, education and skills, and women and girls’ empowerment. We strengthen local institutions so they can act swiftly and meet people’s most urgent needs. We address the global trends — like conflict and worsening environmental conditions — that make global crises harder to solve. We help people and communities prepare for future shocks and empower them to respond to emergencies themselves.
