Supporting Organization Spotlight: CARE
CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. CARE places special focus on working alongside women and girls because, when equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women and girls are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, expand economic opportunity, increase access to health services and protect natural resources in over sixty countries around the world.
CARE is partnering with the Massachusetts Conference for Women to raise awareness about global poverty and the vital role that women in the U.S. play in improving the lives of women in developing countries. At the upcoming conference and throughout the year, CARE will share hands-on ways that you can connect with women around the world and opportunities to stand in solidarity with women working to bring lasting change to their communities.
