Thank you for all your wonderful help – we couldn’t do it without you.
Founded in 1945 to send 'CARE packages' to people recovering from war, we have been fighting poverty in the world’s poorest countries for 70 years.
We work in 79 developing countries, saving lives in emergencies and finding long-term solutions to poverty for millions of people every year.
We empower women and girls to fulfil their potential – because when one woman is helped out of poverty, she brings her family and community with her.
Your support is what makes our poverty-fighting work possible. You can trust us to spend our funds wisely and effectively to help people in need.
