Association CARE International

At CARE International, we seek a world of hope, tolerance and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and people live with dignity and security. 

This has been our vision since 1945, when we were founded to send lifesaving CARE Packages® to survivors of World War II. Today, CARE is a global leader in the movement to eradicate poverty and achieve social justice. In 2018, CARE worked in 94 countries and reached more than 80 million people with an incredible range of life-saving programs. The protection and empowerment of women and girls lies at the core of all we do because poverty cannot be overcome until all people have equal rights and opportunities.

At the heart of CARE’s confederation is a Secretariat based in Geneva, Switzerland with offices in Brussels, London and New York. The CARE International (CI) Secretariat strives to achieve global cohesion across CARE’s members and country offices in ways that ensures all parts of CARE achieve greater impact, efficiency and effectiveness.  

We seek dynamic, innovative thinkers to further our mission. We believe that a united global movement has the power to end the injustice of poverty.  If you do too, join us.
