About
If a legacy of fighting poverty and injustice around the globe inspires you, you’re in the right place.
For 75 years, CARE has worked around the globe to change lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice. Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we work on the front lines of humanitarian crises and tackle the underlying causes of poverty to create transformative change. With a bedrock of national staff and a strong network of local partners, we have deep connections and impact in more than 100 countries.
Our Impact
In 2019, CARE Canada managed 87 projects around the world—reaching 1.5 million people. We estimate a further 5.8 million people benefited from this work, thanks to advocacy efforts or local partners building on CARE projects in their communities.
However, 2020 has brought a whole new challenge. Not since World War II, when CARE got its start, has the world faced a global crisis of this proportion. Now, decades of hard-fought rights are at stake and the impact of COVID-19 may push another 150 million people into extreme poverty. Although people of all genders have been affected, women, girls and non-binary people have suffered disproportionately.
