ABOUT US
CARE International is a global confederation of 13 National Members and one Affiliate Member with the common goal of fighting global poverty. Each CARE Member is an autonomous non-governmental organization and implements program, advocacy, fundraising and communications activities in its own country and in developing countries where CARE has programs.. The oldest members are CARE USA and CARE Canada (of which CARE Kenya is a part of), which were established in 1945 and 1946 respectively. The other member countries are Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, The Netherlands, Norway, the United Kingdom, India and Thailand. CARE Peru is an Affiliate Member, and along with India and Thailand, strengthens the diversity of CARE's governance.
The organization has always been known as "CARE" but the meaning behind the letters has changed as its scope has broadened. When it was founded in 1945, CARE stood for "Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe." Today, with work in 87 countries around the world, CARE stands for "Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere, Inc."
