Care

There are about six people who DON’T know about CARE, and that’s because CARE has been around since 1945 offering life-saving support to children and families in crisis—with an increased recent focus on partnering with women. AND their materials are positive, beautiful and tremendously accessible. We are HUGE fans ofCARE.

Here’s what they say: 
CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE’s community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of disease, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.

Our Vision
We seek a world of hope, tolerance and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and people live in dignity and security. CARE International will be a global force and a partner of choice within a worldwide movement dedicated to ending poverty. We will be known everywhere for our unshakable commitment to the dignity of people.

Do you see why MAU is a bit crazy in love? In addition, CARE has recognized the importance of engaging generations of activists, so be sure to check out CARE’s annual conference in the Spring, which MAU Maven Anjali Kochar and her daughter Kiran (10) have attended for years.

In light of all this, the MAU Board & Staff give our Seal of Gratitude and Respect toCARE and recommend MAU Mavens check them out. To get involved contact Giulia McPherson at the CARE Action Network, gmcpherson@care.org, 202-415-8285.
