    Making a difference with every step

    For the first time ever, the Climb for CARE will summit on International Women’s Day – a key day in the fight against poverty.

    Women and girls are the most vulnerable people around the world: they represent up to 70% of the people living in poverty. But when they are empowered and have access to education, health services, skills training and jobs, women and girls are the most influential agents in the fight against poverty in their communities.

    The Climb for CARE is YOUR chance to help them achieve this and to overcome their own personal mountains. With every step of your adventure, you will be working with CARE to empower women and girls in the fight against poverty.
