The latest report for CARE supporters like you.

Dear R.,

I wanted to share with you some information from the latest situation report out of Bangladesh. It has all the figures and updates on how CARE is responding to the urgent needs there. As a member of the CARE community, your support is vital to this lifesaving work.

With Mother's Day approaching, I'm thinking about how hard it can be to be a mother in even the best circumstances. But can you imagine what it means to be a refugee mother seeking safety in a place like Bangladesh -- escaping violence, surrounded by starvation, disease and other forces out of her control?

Read on to learn more about what CARE is doing to help mothers and families in Bangladesh, and consider making a special gift: We have set a goal to raise $32,428 before Mother's Day to support those in immediate need around the world. Send the urgent relief mothers and vulnerable families all around the world need.
