CARE first established its mission in Afghanistan in 1961, but suspended activities after the Russian invasion of 1979. Resuming activities in 1989 from a new base in Peshawar, Pakistan, CARE delivered assistance to Afghanistan from across the border until 2002 when it shifted its main office to Kabul.
CARE Afghanistan's activities strengthen the capacity of Afghans for self-reliance, while promoting basic human rights; social, economic and gender equality; sustainable and effective use of resources; good governance; and provision of economic opportunities. CARE Afghanistan advocates with and on behalf of poor, vulnerable and marginalized Afghans for policies that will provide them long-term sustainable benefits.
