CARE India

CARE has been working in India for over 70 years, focusing on ending poverty and social injustice . We do this through well-planned and comprehensive programmes in health, education, livelihoods and disaster preparedness and response. Our overall goal is the empowerment of women and girls from poor and marginalised communities leading to improvement in their lives and livelihoods. We are a member of the CARE International Confederation working in 100 countries for a world where all people live in dignity and security. Why Women & Girls We choose to focus on women and girls because women are disproportionately affected by poverty and discrimination; we aim to ensure gender equality through the realisation of full rights and entitlements. Further, our experience shows us that, when equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities overcome poverty.
