Funding: CARE

CARE has announced a $1.8 billion pledge to expand its maternal, newborn, and child health programs to more than thirty countries by 2015. The commitment will enable CARE to significantly expand its programs focused on empowering girls and women and gender equity, linking health systems and communities in systems of mutual accountability, and using innovative approaches to reach the world's most vulnerable populations. CARE will launch programs in at least ten additional countries and scale-up programs in countries where it already operates, with the goal of helping more than thirty million women and children by 2015.
