CARE Mission and Support from Sandy and Tanya Hutchens

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. In areas such as health, HIV/AIDS, natural resources, education and economic development, CARE works to empower women, because experience has shown that women’s gains yield dramatic benefits for families and communities. CARE also advocates for policies that defend human rights and promote the eradication of poverty.

Today CARE International is an international confederation composed of twelve national members. Each member is an autonomous non-governmental organisation in its own right, registered and governed according to national law as a charitable body.
