Take action

Taking action is empowering. You can achieve amazing things and help CARE confront global poverty. Take action in your home, your community and your world:

Hold a fundraising event
If you’re interested in helping CARE fight global poverty, chances are your friends, family and work colleagues are too. Holding an event is a great way to raise money and learn more about CARE. From bungy jumping to bingo, cake sales to charity balls – there are endless ways to take action for CARE.

• Tell at least three people about CARE’s work
• Send an ecard
• Be inspired by the International Women’s Day speech given by CARE’s CEO, DrJulia Newton-Howes, at the WOMADelaide Music Festival, Sunday 8 March 2009.

Volunteer
Giving time is one of the most valuable contributions you can make to the fight against global poverty. CARE has an important story to tell: Women around the world are learning skills and getting the resources they need to lift their families out of poverty. But we can’t reach everyone, and that’s where you come in. CARE Australia partners with VIDA (Volunteers for International Development Australia) in a number of rewarding opportunities.
