65. CARE International UK
We fight poverty and injustice in more than 80 countries around the world to help the world's poorest people find routes out of poverty. We also deliver emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and help people rebuild their lives in the aftermath.
CARE and women: We tackle the underlying causes of poverty so that people can become self-sufficient. Recognising that women and girls suffer disproportionately from poverty, we place special emphasis on working with women to create permanent social change. Women are at the heart of our community-based efforts to improve basic education, increase access to quality healthcare and expand economic opportunity for all.
We are non-religious and non-political, allowing us to deliver humanitarian and development assistance to anyone in need regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, age, religion, political view or sexual orientation. With almost 70 years' practical and hands-on experience, our programmes tackle the deep-seated root causes of poverty, not just the consequences.
