Description: From a humble box of food sent to a war-ravaged Europe to one of the world's largest humanitarian organizations, CARE International's story spans nearly eighty years of reinvention. This book traces how the iconic CARE Package grew into a global movement, following its shift from emergency relief to long-term development and its commitment to placing women and girls at the heart of the fight against poverty. Along the way, it explores CARE's responses to crises across continents, the workings of its worldwide confederation, and its push for policy and systemic change. It also takes an honest look at the criticisms and challenges the organization faces as it charts its path forward.
