4. INTRODUCTION
• CARE is a not-for-profit organisation working
in India for over 68 years, focusing on
alleviating poverty and social injustice. We do

projects in health, education, livelihoods and
disaster preparedness and response. Our

and girls from poor and marginalised
communities leading to improvement in their
lives and livelihoods.

• CARE is one of the world’s largest private
humanitarian organizations. Headquartered in
Atlanta, Georgia, committed to help families in
poor communities & improve their lives.
Founded in 1945 to provide relief to survivors
of World War II, CARE quickly became a
trusted vehicle for the composition and
generosity of millions.

8. IMPORTANT OF CARE
• CARE focuses on the empowerment of women
and girls because they are disproportionately
affected by poverty and discrimination; and suffer
abuse and violations in the realisation of their
rights, entitlements and access and control over
resources. Also, experience shows that, when
equipped with the proper resources, women
have the power to help whole families and entire
communities overcome poverty, marginalisation
and social injustice.

9. • CARE’s mission has evolved over the decades.
CARE continues to provide emergency relief
during and after disasters, but the organization
today focuses on addressing underlying causes of
poverty. In such areas such as health, HIV/AIDs,
natural resources, education and economic
development, CARE works to empower women,
because experience has shown that women’s
gains yield dramatic benefits for families and
communities.

justice, where poverty has been overcome and
people live in dignity and security.

• CARE’s livelihood sector programmes centre around
women smallholders, business-women, employees and
homeworkers belonging to poor and marginalised
communities, with the objective of empowering them with
knowledge and enhanced access to inputs, services,
technologies and opportunities. We facilitate the building
of an enabling and gender-transformative environment for
conducting economic activities by engaging men and other
influential actors, both private and public, who are involved
in market value chains and entitlement delivery. Helping
women from marginalised communities to earn their
livelihoods using a variety of non-agricultural avenues is
one of the core mandates of CARE’s livelihood sector
programmes.

the interventions address barriers such as unequal
power relations and enable the transformation of
gender norms at multiple levels.

Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal to
support sustainable and climate resilient agricultural

change resilience against various kinds of shocks and
stresses. To bring about holistic change in the areas of
resilience and nutrition, it is necessary to sustain resources
for future, promote individual and institutional capacities
and transform vulnerability to risks in the areas of
agriculture and livelihood. Our work also focusses on
building asset-base, knowledge, information on
institutional entitlements and governance, to improve
climate change resilience and nutrition security.
