In her hands, your gift becomes the strength to break free from poverty.

Women and girls bear the brunt of poverty and are more severely affected by crises like climate change, natural disasters and conflict.

YOU have the power to change that!

Your monthly gifts will go towards supporting women, because when they are given the right education, tools and opportunities, they bring the courage, resilience and strength needed to take control of their future. We know from experience that when one woman breaks free from poverty, she’ll bring another four people with her. That’s a powerful multiplier.

In her hands, your monthly gift is turned into power — power to transform her life and the lives of those around her.

Join a passionate, like-minded community on a mission to support women and defeat poverty!

Your gift, in her hands is:

1. SAVING LIVES IN CRISIS

When disaster strikes, we make sure women and their families have emergency shelter, food, clean water and hygiene kits to stay healthy. And once the danger passes, we’re there to help families rebuild their lives, homes and crops in a way that’s sustainable and fair for everyone.

We have provided emergency assistance to more than 25,000 people across the Pacific.

2. HELPING WOMEN EARN AN INCOME

We provide training and assistance so women can build the skills, confidence and community support they need to take charge of their lives and lead their families and communities out of poverty.

Thirty years ago, CARE launched the very first Village Savings and Loans Association. These simple savings clubs have helped millions of women to buy, save and share as a group in order to support each other through hardship.

3. HELPING COMMUNITIES ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE

People who have contributed the least to global warming are already experiencing the worst impacts of climate change — which is completely unfair. We help communities adapt to the impacts of climate change and build resilience to changing weather conditions. We also advocate for women, Indigenous groups and marginalised people to be part of the global conversation.

What your donations can help us achieve:

Your monthly gifts can go towards training women like Angeline in Zimbabwe to be village water pump mechanics; installing new and repairing existing water pumps. You can help provide clean water to entire communities for generations, and provide women with the skills to earn an income too!

Angeline travels from village to village repairing broken water pumps. She feels passionately that everyone should have clean water and that people need to band together to help each other during tough times like drought.

Before emergencies hit, your gifts can train local women like Jessinta in Vanuatu to help families prepare for disasters, sharing warnings and leading vulnerable people to safety. And in the aftermath, women like Jessinta are able to lead and protect their communities.

Together, we are committed to listening to local leaders, trusting in their expert knowledge and decisions, and building the skills of local women so they can lead their communities when disaster strikes.
