Pakistan ranks 154 out of 189 on the Human Development Index (HDI). CARE International works in remote and urban areas of Pakistan to create opportunities for women, children, and marginalized communities.
CARE International first began working in Pakistan in 1949. In June 2005, CARE Pakistan re-established its operations after being out of the country for more than 25 years.
CARE Pakistan works in both remote and urban areas to address the underlying causes of poverty through creating opportunities for self-reliance, with special focus on women, children, and marginalized communities.
Our work in Pakistan focuses on:
The resurgence of cholera in some of the world’s hunger hotspots, including Haiti, Syria, Pakistan, South Sudan and Afghanistan, is threatening the lives of millions of already vulnerable people.
Lake Manchar is located in Sindh province, one of the most food insecure in the country, so CARE is very concerned about the implications of this latest threat on vulnerable groups, including women and children
Among the 33 million people impacted, women and girls face higher risks of violence and suffer from lack of access to reproductive health
In the lead up to World Humanitarian Day on August 19th, we are shining light on the role of women in humanitarian crises around the globe.
