Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE) is one of the largest private international humanitarian organizations in the world, with programmes in over 72 countries. World-wide staffing exceeds 12,000, most of whom come from the nation they assist.
CARE (originally Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe), was founded in 1945 to provide relief to survivors of World War II. The relief came in CARE Packages, which were U.S. Army surplus 10-in-1 food parcels left over from the planned U.S. invasion of Japan. The service let Americans send the packages to friends and families in Europe. Each CARE Package cost $10 and was guaranteed to reach its addressee within four months.
