Work for us and play your part in creating a fairer, better world for all.

CARE was founded in the United States in 1945 to send ‘CARE packages’ – packages of food and basic supplies – to millions of people in Europe in danger of starvation following World War Two.

Some 100 million CARE packages reached people in need during the next two decades, first in Europe and later in Asia and other parts of the developing world. 

CARE International operates in more than 90 countries around the world. We run poverty-fighting programmes and deliver life-saving aid in 79 developing countries. This work is supported by global policy and advocacy work, fundraising, and programme management provided by CARE offices in countries like the USA and the UK.

CARE International UK was founded in 1985 and we are one of 14 full members of the global CARE International federation.
