Founded in 1945, CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty with special focus on working with girls and women. CARE currently works in over 100 countries. In today’s Bangladesh, CARE started its journey in 1949 and our current programs are focused on Women and Youth Empowerment, Health and Nutrition, Humanitarian and Climate Action, and Food and Agricultural Systems. The goal for the new Country Program Strategy is to ensure that 15 million people in Bangladesh, especially women and girls, are leading gender equal and resilient lives by 2030.
US Ambassador to Bangladesh Earl R Miller today said they will continue to put pressure on Myanmar to create conditions on the ground for the “voluntary, safe, dignified and sustainable†return of all Rohingyas to Myanmar Rakhine State.
