CARE is an international development organisation fighting global poverty, with a special focus on working with women and girls to bring lasting change to their communities.

CARE has been working with Cambodians since 1973, providing relief and development assistance within Cambodia and subsequently to Cambodian refugees on the Thai border. Since 1991, the re-opened office in Phnom Penh has worked in many areas including emergency relief, preparedness, health, education, livelihoods and gender-based violence.

Today, CARE focuses on empowering particularly marginalised and vulnerable women in Cambodia, including urban women who are marginalised by occupation, rural women who are denied multiple rights, and women and girls from ethnic minorities.

Over the years CARE has previously worked in almost all provinces across Cambodia. Today, CARE focuses primarily on the north-east of the country and in Phnom Penh and the surounding areas.
