CARE International (CI) is a global confederation of 12 national member organisations working together to act as a leading relief and development Non-Government Organistaion (NGO) fighting to end poverty.  In 2010, CI worked in 87 countries, supporting 905 poverty-fighting projects to reach more than 82 million people.

Each national member is an autonomous NGO in its own right. CI Members in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia carry out a range of project-related, advocacy, fundraising, and communications activities in support of CARE’s relief and development programmes in 70 countries worldwide.

CARE helps tackle underlying causes of poverty so that people can become self-sufficient. CARE is often one of the first to deliver emergency aid to survivors of natural disasters and war and, once the immediate crisis is over, we help people rebuild their lives. While CARE is a large international organisation with 12,000 employees worldwide, we have a strong local presence: 97% of our staff are nationals of the countries where our programmes are run.

Members

Each CARE International member is registered as a non-profit charitable organisation according to the laws of its own country, and is regulated by these laws and its statutes. Governance oversight is provided by a board of directors, who serve as trustees. The management of each CARE Member is conducted under the leadership of the National Director, who is the chief executive, and his/her senior management team.
