Many organizations are trying to find a solution to the problem of world hunger, and CARE is one of them. It provides food to hungry people, and believes that it is more important to help people produce their own food. Because of this belief, the organization has programs to help people improve their lives.   

        CARE was organized in 1945 to help people after World War II. At that time, it distributed over 100 million food packages. Meanwhile, it was starting self-help programs. In 2014, it has worked in 90 countries around the world. CARE gives equipment and teaches people how to build water systems, roads, schools, houses, and health centers. It also teaches people how to increase production on their farms, how to reforest areas, and how to start small village industries. Doctors and nurses volunteer to go to villages. They provide health care for the people, teach people how to improve their health, and train people to provide simple medical care. CARE also gives special help when there is a flood, an earthquake, a drought or a war.   

        Where does CARE get its money? Ordinary people in developed countries give money. CARE receives millions of dollars every year. The organization is international. It helps people of any race, color, or religion. It meets with the people to decide on programs together. CARE helps provide the necessities of life to less-developed countries.
