CARE's 5-Point Response to Hunger
1: Emergency Food — CARE provides life-saving food to survivors of natural and man-made disasters, and people who are severely malnourished.
2: Farming Assistance — CARE provides tools, seeds and training to help farmers plant their fields, improve their land's productivity and increase crop yields.
3: Helping Communities Organize for Change — CARE helps village leaders organize groups that work on projects together to benefit their community. In exchange for food, and sometimes cash, the work groups terrace eroded hillsides, plant trees for firewood and soil retention, repair roads, dig wells for clean water, create emergency water reserves and build dams to control flash floods.
4: Nutrition Education — CARE's child health programs start at the earliest
possible stage by teaching soon-to-be and new mothers how to ensure good
nutrition and adequate weight gain.
5: Increase Income — CARE works with partners to provide business training and small loans, and to improve local banking services. This is crucial because it enables poor families to start or expand small businesses and increase family income.
