Vision and Mission

A global leader within a worldwide movement dedicated to saving lives and ending poverty

Our Vision

We seek a world of hope, inclusion and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and all people live in dignity and security.

Our Mission

CARE works around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice.

Our Focus

We put women and girls in the centre because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.

Principles
