 CARE programming in Uganda is in response to armed conflict, natural disasters and economic and social marginalization mainly in rural areas of the country. CARE targets vulnerable communities such as the extreme poor ,internally displaced people, and woman and children to provide assistance and opportunities for sustainable development.CARE addresses the underlying cause of poverty through its programming categorized under four major strategic directions.
With more than 60 years’ practical and hands-on experience, our programmes tackle the deep-seated root causes of poverty, not just the consequences. Just two examples of the way we do this are helping farmers to grow their own food and helping people start small businesses.
