The original CARE Package has returned in time for the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day to empower girls and women worldwide to live, learn and earn.
Did you know that CARE invented the CARE Package in 1946 to deliver food and urgently-needed humanitarian resources to Europeans after World War II? The original CARE Package was so widely embraced by Americans that the name CARE Package quickly became a synonym for gifts mailed to far-away family and friends.
CARE's anti-poverty mission has changed since the first CARE Package was delivered 65 years ago. The CARE Package has
changed, too. Instead of delivering food and supplies in boxes,
CARE now addresses poverty at its roots. CARE empowers women and girls to create lasting change in their communities and lift themselves and their families out of poverty — for good.
Build and send your very own CARE Package!

With our new digital CARE Package, you will read stories of girls and women who represent the thousands of people CARE works with every day. You'll learn about the issues that shape poor people's lives and interventions that you can take to make a difference with the charity organization CARE. During the past century, women and girls have overcome barriers, busted myths and led change to make the world a better place for everyone. March 8th, the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, is the perfect opportunity to celebrate all women and be inspired, but it is also a rallying point to call for change. Despite our progress, the fact remains that women and girls are still among the poorest, most discriminated-against groups in the world. Many women are prevented from achieving their full potential, by being denied basic rights and full participation in society, and millions of little girls struggle to find hope for a bright future. |
We've come a long way, but we simply can't afford to wait another 100 years to finish the job. We know that when you empower a woman or a girl, she has the power to lift herself, her family and her entire community out of poverty. A movement is building that recognizes women and girls are a key to overcoming poverty and creating lasting peace, prosperity and progress in the world. The 100th anniversary of International Women's Day is the perfect opportunity to harness this momentum! And what better way to help women’s charity, than by creating your own CARE package.
For example, your gift can give a year of schooling to a girl in Afghanistan, help an expectant mother in Peru get transportation to the hospital, or help a village savings and loan group get started.
Just drag and drop items to create your own CARE Package, or create a group CARE Package and invite family, friends and colleagues to join your group CARE Package to help even more women and girls.
Experience the interactive CARE Package today to send customized gifts of opportunity, empowerment and hope to girls and women around the world!
