Our mission
CARE works around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice. Women and girls are at the core of what we do, because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.
Our core values
We are clear-eyed about the challenges and opportunities facing humanity; we make difficult decisions and take calculated risks to respond to these, knowing we have a healthy and productive workforce in a safe and fun work environment
We are all leaders, thinking big and taking urgent action to improve the world; we challenge each other, have the confidence to try new things, and we move fast, but always ensuring sustainably.
We know that we must be the change we want to see in the world, so we treat colleagues, partners and the public with respect, valuing and prompting different options and perspectives based on our diverse life experiences, working together so we all feel safe and powerful.
We know humanity’s best chance for overcoming poverty and creating a world of hope, tolerance and social justice lies in equality; we advance equality in all our work and in our dealings with all people, especially gender equality. It all starts with equality.
