CARE International
CARE Afghanistan is part of CARE International, one of the world’s top three aid agencies, fighting poverty and injustice in 70 countries around the world and helping 55 million people each year to find routes out of poverty.
CARE International established its mission in Afghanistan in 1961 with a small health project called Medico, focusing on medical training and improving healthcare services. From these early programs over four and a half decades ago, CARE has continued to support Afghans in need.
