We have learnt from our work across 94 countries that when inequality is tackled, long-term lasting change is possible.
We put women and girls at the heart of our work. With them getting equal opportunities, we can hope to end poverty more effectively.
Who We Are
CARE Australia is a leading international aid organisation that works around the globe to save lives and defeat poverty. We know we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.
Who we areWhere The Money Goes
We work hard to ensure your generous donation makes the biggest impact, where it’s needed most. In 2019/20, 91c of every dollar was spent on our lifesaving programs, responding to emergencies and helping to create a more equal world.
DonateWhere we work
CARE works in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities, with lifesaving programs throughout Africa, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. From education in Cambodia to food security in Zimbabwe – CARE is the ground, working with families and communities to recover from disaster, achieve equality and end poverty.

Women and girls bear the brunt of poverty; too often girls miss out on school, women do not have secure, paid employment, and die needlessly during pregnancy and childbirth. We support women and girls to have the same opportunities as men and boys.
Read moreA Lifetime of Learning
Education can transform lives and is one of the best ways of helping communities break free from poverty. CARE is helping boys and girls go to school, and enabling adults to learn important life skills.

Healthy Lives
Poverty and poor health are closely connected. CARE is working to ensure better health through clean water and healthy habits – helping communities build and access safe water sources and toilets, education and awareness on hygiene and sanitation practices and access to healthcare and medicine, especially for mothers and babies.
Read moreEnding Hunger
One in nine people around the world do not have enough food to lead healthy and productive lives. Inefficient farming practices and a changing climate are threats to regular food supplies to poor families. CARE is working to overcome hunger and improve nutrition for all by providing food, seeds, tools and information about better farming.

We know that poverty is often caused by injustice – by inequality, exploitation and conflict. We seek to tackle these root causes and scale-up the impact of our projects through our advocacy work. Our approach is to bring the local to the global.
