Program 1 · 53.1% of program spending · $90.7M in grants $399.0M

Humanitarian: Approximately half of care's work relates to humanitarian. In times of conflict or disaster, care responds to save lives, with special attention to the needs of women and families and the most marginalized. Care's humanitarian activities include preparedness and early action, emergency response and recovery, and encourages future resilience. Humanitarian work reflects ongoing conflicts and natural disasters in countries that we operate. For fiscal years 2025 and 2024, our largest humanitarian efforts were in ethiopia, turkey, sudan, and yemen.

Program 2 · 1% of program spending $7.3M
