CARE International

Care International is one of the world’s largest development organisations. It has over 500 projects in 72 countries in Asia,Africa,South America,the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Every year CARE helps to improve the lives of nearly 30 million of the world’s poorest people.

 

Although CARE receives money from wealthy developed countries and international institutions such as the United Nations,it is an independent organisation and no governments control it. Millions of dollars are also given by private comoanies and ordinary people around the world.

 

 

CARE’s goal is ti reduce poverty and hunger in developing countries and therefore increase the life expectancy of the inhabitants of these countries. The organisation has offices in 11 countries around the world and its permanent workers organise the development programmes. Thousands of CARE volunteers work with local people on a variety of projects in the areas of education,agriculture,health,care,water safety and building businesses. Here are examples of CARE projects.

In some places there is disease because people drink dirty water. In Kenya,volunteers are working with local people to improve water systems in 48 villages. In bangladesh,although there is plenty of water, in many places it is not safe to drink.CARE is teaching local people how to build their own cheap water systems.

In 2001,projects in39 countries helped more than 800,000 people increase their incimes. CARE lends people money to start small businesses and its volunteers teach them basic financial skills. A programme in Bolivia.
