CARE is global leader within a worldwide movement dedicated to ending poverty. We are known everywhere for our unshakable commitment to the dignity of people. CARE has been working in Nepal since 1978 and holds a general agreement with government of Nepal. We collaborate with poor communities to improve infrastructure, food security, livelihoods, health, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); women's empowerment and reduction of gender-based violence (GBV) cuts across all CARE projects. Our long-term development projects are active in 58 of Nepal's 75 districts, including many affected by the earthquake. VISION: We seek a world of hope, tolerance and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and all people live with dignity and security. MISSION: CARE works around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice. FOCUS: We put women and girls in the center because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.
