CARE France

CARE France (Association Humanitaire de Solidarité Internationale) is the French national member of CARE International, one of the world's largest humanitarian organizations. Based in Paris, it operates as a non-profit association under French law and works to fight poverty and inequality, with a particular emphasis on defending women's rights, combating climate change, and providing emergency humanitarian aid. Its mission is framed around three core "combats": women's rights, climate change, and emergency relief. As part of the CARE International confederation, CARE France contributes to programs in over 121 countries, supporting millions of people each year. Its work spans emergency response (e.g., in Sudan, Yemen, Nepal, Iraq, Chad, Ethiopia, Colombia, Indonesia, and Venezuela) and long-term development projects. The organization raises funds from the French public, institutional donors, and private partners to finance its operations. CARE France's public identity is closely tied to the global CARE brand, which is known for its community-based approach and its focus on women and girls as agents of change. The French branch communicates in French and engages the French public through campaigns, press releases, and fundraising appeals. Its website serves as a hub for news, field updates, and donation opportunities. While exact founding details and leadership are not provided in the available evidence, CARE France is an established and active humanitarian brand in France, operating under the CARE International umbrella and adhering to its global standards and values.

CARE France is the French national member of CARE International, a global confederation founded in 1945 to send CARE Packages to survivors of World War II. CARE International has since grown into one of the largest humanitarian networks in the world, operating in over 100 countries. CARE France was established as the French branch, operating as a non-profit association under French law (association loi 1901). It carries out the CARE mission in France and contributes to international programs. While the exact founding year of CARE France is not provided in the available evidence, the organization has been active for decades, aligning with CARE International's expansion into Europe. CARE France focuses on three main areas: defending women's rights, fighting climate change, and providing emergency humanitarian aid. It raises funds from the French public, institutional donors, and private sector partners. In recent years, CARE France has been involved in responding to major crises, including the war in Sudan, the conflict in Yemen, the aftermath of earthquakes and floods in Nepal, Colombia, Venezuela, and Indonesia, and ongoing issues such as female genital mutilation in Chad and Ethiopia. The organization also advocates for women's rights in conflict zones, as seen in its reporting on Yazidi women in Iraq. CARE France's website serves as a platform for news, field updates, and donation appeals, reflecting its active engagement with the French public. The organization is part of the CARE International confederation, which operates in 121 countries and supports millions of people annually. CARE France's work is guided by the global CARE 2030 strategy and its focus on gender equality and climate justice.
