Thailand
CARE’s work in Thailand began in 1979, initially responding to the Cambodian refugee influx along Thailand’s borders. The Raks Thai Foundation (the local name of CARE in Thailand) became a member of CARE International on January 2003, becoming the first CARE member from a developing country. Today, Raks Thai’s work focuses on:
- Environment and natural resources
- Health and HIV/AIDS
- Livelihoods and micro-enterprise development
- Education
- Disaster preparedness and emergency response
