Who we are

We fight poverty and injustice to help create a more equal and gender-just world.

WECARE International is a 75-year-old global confederation working to fight poverty and social injustice in the world, with a specific focus on the empowerment of women and girls. We work side-by-side with communities to understand the root causes of poverty and find innovative, locally-led solutions. WECARE seeks to demonstrate the results and methodologies used in our projects to ensure transparency and accountability and advance the quality of our work.
