CARE supports individuals and families in the most disadvantaged communities in the world and enables them to live with dignity and become self-sufficient. We aim not only to satisfy a minimum standard of life such as access to sufficient food and clean water, but also to provide people with the education and economic opportunities which will enable them to determine their own future. In order to achieve this objective, CARE identifies the underlying causes of poverty and draws out the peopleﾕs will to live, and helps to strengthen it,while simultaneously proviidng economic opportunities and making policy recommendatios.
