CARE, in partnership with UNICEF delivered winterization kits to Pakistani children after the eargquake in 2005.

Partnership is the foundation of any CARE project. CARE has established countless alliances with partners at local, national and multinational levels around the world.

Local partnerships are critical to CARE's efforts. By working with local NGOs and more informal community-based organizations in humanitarian efforts, CARE taps into the knowledge of a community's language and culture, develops a deeper understanding of the people it is serving, and makes effective use of the skills of local groups. At the same time, CARE helps those groups gain skills and experience in areas such as project design and, most importantly, helps foster civil society.

At the local government level, CARE also often works with health and education ministries for program delivery - for example, to implement a project through doctors or teachers.

At the national level we work with NGOs to influence government for policy change while at the international level, CARE works with fellow international NGOs to influence the aid-allocation decisions of Western governments and to share complementary talents to achieve a common goal.
