Business Profile

Who we are CARE International is one of the world’s leading aid agencies.
In the last year, we worked in 84 countries, supporting 1015 poverty-fighting projects that reached more than 122 million people.
Our mission is to create lasting change in poor communities and we put money where it is needed most.

With more than 60 years’ practical and hands-on experience, our programmes tackle the deep-seated root causes of poverty, not just the consequences.
This often involves working across a range of areas where people's needs are very tangible - provision of clean water, health services and teacher-training, for example.
But it can also involve helping people to be masters of their own situation - strengthening their ability to influence decision-makers or demand their rights to crucial services or resources.
Even our best programmes can only touch so many lives. We expand our impact by influencing policy-makers in both the developing or developed worlds.

When disaster strikes, we are also one of the first to respond, ensuring that aid gets to where it is needed most.
We can do this because we’ve often been working in countries for many years, and we stay to help communities rebuild their lives long after the media have gone.
To bring about long-lasting change, we need to be present for the long haul and develop a very strong understanding of the local context.
For this reason, more than 90 per cent of our 13,000-plus staff are locally-hired, and we increasingly look to work alongside local organisations.
