Job Description
CARE is an international NGO with local staff and community partners in more than 90 countries.
We create local solutions to poverty and inequality, and we seek dignity for everyone every day and
during times of crisis. These solutions have a broad range, from clean water to access to education;
from microfinance to ensuring that everyone has nutritious food; from agriculture and climate change
to disaster response. CARE puts women and girls at the center of everything we do because they
have proven to be the best hope for creating lasting change in the world. Our staff live where they
work, which makes us effective at understanding the challenges they face. We’ve been doing this for
over 70 years since World War II. It started with the world’s first CARE Package® of food for post-
war hunger in Europe. Our work today is as important as ever, we believe that poverty and
inequality are historic injustices that we can end within a generation, for good. If you share our core
beliefs: poverty is an injustice; poverty is solvable; and together, we have the power to end it, join us.
