CARE International: Eight Decades of Humanitarian Evolution

This report outlines the eight-decade evolution of CARE International, tracing its transformation from a post-World War II relief organization, initially known for its CARE Package deliveries to Europe, into a global confederation dedicated to addressing systemic poverty and injustice. It highlights key periods of change, including the shift from direct relief to sustainable development, the formal establishment of CARE International in 1982, and a pivotal strategic focus on empowering women and girls, exemplified by programs like Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA). The document further details CARE's responses to major global crises, such as the Indian Ocean Tsunami and the COVID-19 pandemic, and its ongoing efforts to combat climate change and promote locally-led humanitarian action in an increasingly complex world.
