Why do we support CARE?
Women are at the heart of CARE's programs.
They work for long term solutions.
They have the highest, 4 star rating from Charity Navigator.
CARE has been on the ground in Haiti since the 1950's. Now they are bringing food, supplies and services to the most vulnerable. We are so saddened by the
recent devastation in Haiti and want to support efforts to help in the immediate crisis and longer term rebuilding efforts.
Won't you join us in donating to CARE help the survivors and Haiti rebuild?

Working together to empower women to bring lasting change to their communities.
Original Women is committed to making the world a more beautiful place. By supporting CARE, we encourage women to express their creativity and use their skills to make their lives, their families' lives, their communities and our world a better place. Empowering women is a powerful, transformative and effective idea.
CARE is a 65 year old humanitarian organization fighting global poverty in 72 countries and reaches over 59 million people. Like Original Women, women are at the heart of CARE's mission. In CARE's six decades of experience, they have seen how women's well-being is the fuel that drives vibrant, healthy societies. Today, CARE is leveraging that knowledge to help families and communities chart a new course out of poverty.
Our partnership with Care is ongoing. Since starting in 2007 at the Humanitarian Awards Gala honoring Melinda Gates and continuing in 2008 and 2009 at the More Magazine Reinvention Convention, More and Self Marathon and Original Women Holiday Celebrations, Original Women has raised awareness of CARE's activities, inspired participation and generated significant donations.
We invite you to join us and engage with CARE on an ongoing basis:
This year, we will be helping to create an international marketplace at the CARE National Conference May 11 and 12, 2010 in Washington, D.C.
Join us there. This is an amazing experience to talk directly with our lawmakers! Thanks, to CARE, we feel empowered and are making a difference. http://www.careconference.org/index.asp
We are based in New York City, and if you are too, here are two suggestions:
The Women's Initiative of New York City:
This is a group of women who, each year, commit to raise support for Care's work to empower women, advocate for CARE and travel to visit projects to see first hand the impact of CARE's work.
For example, the Women's Initiative's efforts helped bring innovative microfinance and financial services to remote villages in Mozambique and clean water to villages in Peru.

A group of dynamic and diverse young professionals in their 20's and 30's and their friends of all ages, who share a passion for CARE's commitment to building a world of hope, tolerance and social justice.
