CARE is a leading humanitarian organization dedicated to fighting poverty and social injustice, with a particular emphasis on women and girls, their dignity, and empowerment to lead their communities out of poverty. CARE began working in Tanzania in April 1994, responding to the crisis in Rwanda and the subsequent influx of refugees into the Kagera Region of North-western Tanzania. Over the years, CARE Tanzania developed innovative education, health, microfinance, and environmental programs across most regions of the country. In Tanzania, CARE collaborates with the Government in both mainland and Zanzibar, as well as other stakeholders to transform communities, ensuring financial inclusion and independence, health and nutrition, and climate-smart development resilience, particularly for women and girls.
