History
CARE traces its roots back to the days following World War II when 22 American organizations combined forces to rush emergency food rations in the form of 'CARE packages' to war-torn Europe. On May 11, 1946, the first 20,000 packages reached the port of Le Havre, France. Some 100 million more 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. As the economies of the former wartime nations developed and improved, the focus of CARE's work shifted from Europe to the problems of the developing world. In the 1950s, CARE expanded into emerging nations. In the 1960s, CARE pioneered primary health care programs. In the 1970s, CARE responded to massive famines in Africa with both emergency relief and long-term agroforestry projects. CARE International has been working in the Middle East for nearly sixty years. CARE first established a presence in Jordan and the West Bank and Gaza to respond to the refugee crisis stemming from the first Arab/Israeli conflict. In 1954, CARE commenced operations in Egypt, with basic service projects. CARE has been working in Yemen since 1992, where operations have evolved from basic relief, through reconstruction after the 1994 civil war, to the current portfolio of development projects. In addition, CARE France has recently established CARE Morocco.CARE is now a proven leader among international humanitarian organizations, striving to bring about lasting, meaningful change in the of the world’s poorest communities. |
