“If there is no school, build one”; “if deforestation is occurring, plant trees.” Do these actions alone really solve our current problems? The Ｒights-Ｂased Ａpproach (RBA) advocated by CARE offers opportunities for local communities to think about their problems and to take charge of their own future. Our work is to assist local communities in the problem-solving process and to draw out their will to live and to support it.
