Joint messagefrom CEO andChairOn May 11, 1946, the first CAREPackages arrived in Europe.Back then it was an innovationin delivering assistance to thosein need. Sixty-five years later, ourorganization is bigger and strongerthan ever, and we’re still innovatingin the fight against poverty.In 1946, CARE was responding toa major global emergency—theaftermath of war. Unfortunately our2010-2011 year was also bookendedby emergencies. We beganthe year responding to the unprecedentedflooding in Pakistan, andended with the growing droughtin East Africa, working to preventit from becoming far worse.This year we inaugurated a newfive-year strategic plan* to growand strengthen CARE Canada asan organization. Titled Actionat the Margins, the plan is itselfan innovation because, unlikeso many other documents of itskind, this one is actually meantto be read and understood.In our plan, we outline five keyactions that will guide CARE Canadagoing forward. The theme of thisannual report reflects one of thoseactions: partnership. Through partnershipswe can fill critical gapsin our programs, learn valuablenew approaches and reach higherstandards of performance. CAREwill forge powerful partnershipswith governments, corporations,other organizations, and local NGOsin the communities where we work.An integral part of our strategy isto raise more resources and makeeven more investments in empoweringwomen and girls. Donationssustain our organization, supportour people and fuel our developmentprograms and relief efforts.Every donation we receive has adirect impact on the work we do—from the individual donation madeonline, by telephone or by mail,to the corporate gift, to a localfundraising event, and of coursethe vital support we receive fromthe Government of Canada. We wantKevin McCortPresident and CEOPaul DragerBoard Chairto thank all the Canadians supportingour work with their donations—in particular, those exceptionaldonors who make unrestricted giftsfor CARE to use as needed. Yougive us roots from which we cangrow and respond quickly to need.As part of our plan, CARE Canadawill be a stronger leader in theCARE International (CI) federation.Having an international networkgives CARE Canada an advantage inleveraging resources globally, maintaininga presence in key countries,and responding quickly whenneeded. CARE Canada is a Canadiancharity, but through CI we are aglobal organization. In November2010, the board of CI met in Peru.CARE Peru has begun the transitionfrom a recipient country toa fully independent member ofCI. That is proof of impact.Sharing knowledge is another vitalcomponent of our plan. We haveexperts around the world whoare learning lessons and gainingPage 2*www.care.ca/strategy

valuable experience every day. Alesson learned about economicdevelopment in Kenya could beuseful for a program in Bangladesh.CARE Canada is already a leaderin sharing knowledge withinCI. We will build systems toshare our knowledge withthe world, and to learn whatothers have to share with us.Finally, we will show results. Wepride ourselves in being an openand transparent organization,but there’s always room to bebetter. We have to show Canadiansthat, with their support, we arehaving a real impact defendingdignity and fighting poverty.Throughout everything, we willcontinue to place the highest priorityon empowering women and girlsthrough our work. With the righttools and knowledge, they havethe power to change their world.We would like to conclude bythanking two esteemed membersof our board who have retiredtheir positions and by introducingsome of the new talent whohave joined the CARE partnershipin 2010-2011. We would like toextend our sincerest gratitude forthe guidance and support providedby Naju B. Shroff and Robert J.Tweedy during their time on ourboard. To our Board of Directorswe welcome Clarence Cheng,Paule Gauthier, Shahid Minto, KenSunquist and Helen Wesley, as well,some new faces on our executiveleadership team: ExecutiveVice President Gillian Barth, andVice President of InternationalPrograms Evelyne Guindon.We encourage you to readthrough this report and learnmore about CARE Canada andthe power of partnership.Page 3

A Story ofPartnershipsripples of positive change that liftup everyone around them includingother women, girls, boys andmen. For each life CARE touches, itwould not be possible without thecollaboration of governments, foundations,corporations, internationalorganizations, local NGOs, thepeople in the communities wherewe work and, of course, our donors.Take a moment and thinkabout all the things youdo every day— your job, yourhousehold responsibilities, andthe activities you are involvedin. Now think about all thepeople who help you and enableyou to accomplish everythingyou do—and all the people yousupport in return. Each and everyone of us lives in a network ofpartnerships—family, friends,co-workers—that empower usevery day of our lives. Fightingglobal poverty is no different.In 2010–2011, CARE reached over82 million people around the world.We are empowering the vulnerable,especially women and girls,to lift themselves out of poverty.Decades of experience have shownthat empowering women and girlspositively affects entire familiesand communities—they createIn communities around theworld, partnering with local NGOsensures CARE projects have amuch greater impact than werewe to go it alone. They bring tothe table community acceptanceand access, deep knowledge of thereal needs of the communities,and their own local resource anddistribution networks. In emergencies,working with local partnersensures our response is faster, moreefficient, and more effective.Consider: in the summer of 2010,Pakistan experienced massiveflooding. Over 14 million peopleneeded urgent humanitarianaid. By working through localPage 6

partners, CARE was able to reachhundreds of thousands of peoplewith food, shelter and medicalaid almost immediately. You canfind more on CARE’s response inPakistan on page 8 of this report.CARE’s innovative Village Savingsand Loan Associations (VSLAs) arebased on partnership. Participants,primarily women, work togetheras partners to save and build uptheir own financial resources.They loan their resources to theirgroup partners to start businesses,or pay for household needs likeeducation and health care. Asa group, as partners, they liftthemselves out of poverty.The VSLA model started in Africa,and has proved so successful it hasexpanded to vulnerable communitiesaround the world. On page 14 youcan read about the SAFI program,establishing VSLAs in Rwanda.That program is supported by theMasterCard Foundation, illustratingthe growing role of corporatepartnerships in CARE’s work.CARE empowers women, girls, boysand men to lift themselves out ofpoverty. It is this partnership thatis the cornerstone of what we do.They are equal partners in all ourprojects, from start to finish. Theytell us what their needs and prioritiesare. Together we build customizedprograms that address thoseneeds and priorities. Then theywork alongside our staff to deliverthose programs. Approximately 97per cent of our staff around theworld are citizens of the communitieswhere CARE operates.The story of CARE is the storyof partnerships—from the dayCanadians and Americans workedtogether to send the first CAREpackages to the survivors ofWorld War II, to today whereCARE staff from every corner ofthe globe work together withwomen, girls, boys and men todefend dignity and fight poverty.Page 7

EmergenciesFrom flood to droughtFor CARE Canada, our 2010-2011 year began and endedresponding to major emergenciesaround the globe. We began byresponding to a flood and endedby responding to a drought,with a major earthquake andtsunami in between. When itcomes to emergencies, CARE hasa philosophy—we are among thefirst to arrive and among the lastto leave. And whenever possible,CARE works to help reinforce thecapacity of partners and preparepotentially affected communitiesbefore the disaster has even struck.In late July, 2010, Pakistan wasstruck with one of the largestfloods in its history, affectingmillions of people. Approximatelyone fifth of all Pakistan’sland—nearly 800,000 squarekilometres—was under water. Toput that in perspective, imagineif roughly 85 per cent of BritishColumbia was under water.CARE responded immediately.Within 72 hours, CARE deployedan emergency response team andthe relief operation was underway.In the year prior to the floods,CARE had worked with Pakistaniorganizations to establishmobile medical clinics in theSwat region, where there hadbeen conflict. When the floodsbegan, CARE and its local partnersquickly shifted these clinicsto aiding flood survivors.In the year since the disasterstruck, CARE has reached over onemillion Pakistanis with shelter,emergency supplies, clean water,sanitation systems, hygieneeducation, food, and agriculturaland livelihoods support.• Total number of peoplereached: 1,028,683• Over 432,000 people receivedwater, sanitation and the hygienesupport that is vital to preventingthe spread of water-borne disease.• Nearly 475,000 people received healthcare, including through mobile clinics.CARE is supporting vulnerablePakistani women in their recoveryby providing vocational trainingto develop skills like sewing, andcash-for-work opportunities likeroad building, that will allowthem to generate an incomeand support their families.All these activities have beencarried out through extensivepartnership with Pakistani groups.In South Punjab, for example,CARE partnered with the TAMEERBank in Lahore to increase theefficiency and security of a cashgrant program providing financialsupport to flood survivors.CARE emergency response:Pakistan floods• CARE provided emergency andlonger-term shelter supplies toover 91,000 people.• CARE provided livelihoods supportto over 91,500 people.• Nearly 37,000 people werereached through psychosocialand educational programs.Page 8

The East Africa Drought Crisis begins to peakAs early as 2010, organizationslike CARE began to soundalarm bells in the countries of EastAfrica including Kenya, Somalia andEthiopia. Consecutive seasons offailed rains, combined with risingfood prices and the lasting effectsof conflict, caused families to takedesperate measures such as sellingtheir livestock or worse, leavingtheir homes in search of help. Thecrisis became clear in June 2011with an influx of close to 1,500Somalis each day into the alreadyovercrowded Dadaab refugee camps.As the crisis peaked, as many as13 million people faced severefood insecurity in the region.In 1984, drought and famine inEthiopia killed more than onemillion people. Although thecurrent crisis is affecting a muchlarger area and millions morepeople, and is still growing, itis likely the impact now will befar less severe in lives lost thanin 1984. This is because CARE,local partners and other organizationshave spent the past twodecades working with vulnerablecommunities in the region,supporting them in adapting toclimate change and becoming moreresilient to crises like drought.Nevertheless, the crisis remainssevere. As the year draws to aclose, CARE Canada and its partnersare providing live-saving food,water, education for children, andinitiatives to support livelihoods.A triple disasterOn March 11, 2011, thenortheast coast of Japan’smain island was hit by a massiveearthquake followed by a powerfultsunami that leveled coastalcities. In the middle of thedisaster zone was the Fukushimanuclear power plant. The damagefrom the quake and tsunamiresulted in a meltdown, displacingtens of thousands of people.Immediately after the disasterstruck, CARE organized a deploymentto the city of Kamaishiin Iwate prefecture, one of theworst-hit areas, where approximately25,500 people had soughtrefuge in 373 evacuation centers.CARE provided hot food andemergency supplies includingblankets, mattresses, and materialsfor partially damaged homes andevacuation centers. Since June,psychosocial support has helpedsurvivors to cope with their experiences.CARE is helping to rebuildand strengthen social networks bysupporting community newsletters,community cafes and localfestivals. The newsletters provideimportant information for peopleliving in evacuation centers aboutwhere to receive food, medicalsupport and other services.Page 9

FOOD SECURITYA Watershed Moment in HondurasFifty years ago, Honduras wasthe breadbasket of CentralAmerica. Since then, production ofits key crop, maize, has droppeddramatically. The country now fallsmore than 400,000 tons shortevery year to meet its own needs.In the arid south of the country,water issues have reduced productivityand the amount of arableland. Farmers face unreliable accessto water for irrigation—not havingenough or facing extreme, occasionallydestructive flooding ascaused by Hurricane Mitch in 1998.In addition to impacting food security,Honduras’ water problems alsoresult in increased risk of disease.In 2010, CARE set a goal toimprove life for agriculturalcommunities in Southern Hondurasby improving food and watersecurity. The PROSADE programwas launched.PROSADE attacks the problem offood security from many angles.Both female and male farmersare being introduced to newor improved varieties of seed.They’re also being trained inecologically-efficient farmingtechniques like water harvestingand drip irrigation. CARE isworking with farmers to introduceimproved grain storage methodsto reduce food lost to spoilage,and setting up family vegetablegardens to improve the foodsecurity of individual households.CARE is empowering communitiesto set up committees and waterboards that will be responsiblefor managing and conserving theresources of local micro-watersheds.CARE is also helping motivateyoung Hondurans by strengtheningYouth Environmental Networks.In addition to helping communitiesbe food secure, the PROSADEprogram includes a family-targetededucation component to raiseawareness about good nutrition,water management, householdsanitation, and proper wastedisposal and hygiene practices.There’s an economic aspect as well.The creation of a “Water Fund”enables small rural female and malePage 10

entrepreneurs to access financialresources and increase agriculturalproduction, invest in economicactivities and protect forestedareas. Training opportunities willgive farmers the opportunity tolearn business management skillsto improve their agri-businesses.Women play a key role in PROSADE.The program is closely linked toHonduras’ own national GenderEquality Policy. Women are equallyinvolved in the construction ofnew water systems, and make upat least 50 per cent of the representativeson the water boardsand micro-watershed managementcommittees that manage thosesystems. A health componentof the program is monitoringmaternal and child health.Partnership plays a key role inmaking PROSADE happen. CAREis working closely with threeHonduran NGOs. These organizationsare being trained in suchthings as sustainable and environmentallyfriendly agriculturaltechniques and soil conservationby agricultural and seed expertsfrom the International Centre forTropical Agriculture. Once trainingis completed, these partners willassist CARE in sharing that knowledgewithin communities. Theywill also greatly improve CARE’sprogram through their extensiveknowledge of the culture of localrural communities. By the timethe project winds down in 2016,PROSADE will have supported over24,000 Hondurans in improvingtheir food and water security,health, incomes, sanitation andenvironmental conservation.Page 11

HealthPartnering in the fight against HIV and AIDSNaisula Lookjek and herhusband wait eagerly forany sign of approaching camels.With them are others who havecome to Nkorika Village to awaitthe arrival of the mobile medicalclinic, which travels by camel train.When the clinic arrives, Naisulaand her husband will get testedfor HIV and AIDS. Naisula, who ispregnant with her sixth child, willalso ask about contraception.Nkorika is a remote, nomadicvillage, deep in the middle ofKenya. It takes the camel train10 days to get there. The mobileclinic is a lifeline because thenearest hospital is over 20kilometres away—a long, hardtrip in that part of the country.Nevertheless, Naisula will get hertest, information on family planning,and more knowledge aboutpreventing HIV and AIDS, allbecause of that clinic which wasmade possible by a successfulpartnership between Kenyan NGOs,CARE, and the Global Fund to FightAIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.The Global Fund was establishedin 2002 to increase the resourcesavailable to fight three of theworld’s most devastating diseases.Today the Global Fund supportsover 1,000 programs in 150countries with over $22 billion infunding. The Global Fund worksthrough partners who managethe funds in each country andimplement the programs.In Kenya, CARE was chosen to beGlobal Fund’s “Principal Recipient”.That means we have been entrustedto manage all of the Global Fund’s$28,342,652 in grants in Kenya.In addition to managing the GlobalFund grants, CARE empowers partnerNGOs to build their capacity.CARE staff visit projects andprovide feedback for improvements,conduct trainings, andevaluate results. CARE also auditsthe projects to ensure all ourPage 12

Itis a partnership success story.Through the grants, as well as theexpertise and support of CARE, 52local Kenyan organizations deliverprograms to combat HIV and AIDSacross the country. The CommunityHealth Africa Trust (CHAT) isone of those organizations.CHAT operates the camel trainmobile clinic that is helpingThrough our partnerships, morethan 148,000 Kenyans have beentested for HIV and AIDS, and morethan 270,000 youth have beenreached with information andawareness about preventing HIV.In 1990, the prevalence of HIVand AIDS among Kenyans 15-49years old was 14.1 per cent. Todaythat has declined to 6.3 per cent.CARE’s excellent work in Kenyahas earned us an A1 ratingfor performance from GlobalFund. We’re proud of thatPage 13

EconomicEmpowermentSaving for successIn a village in Rwanda, a clusterof women sit in a rough semicircle,some on stools, otherson the grass. Their attention isfocused on two other womenseated at a table. Spread acrossthe table are account books and asmall pile of money. One by one,each woman comes forward andadds a contribution to the pile. Anote is made in the ledger for each.Barely more than a year ago, thesewomen were among the mostvulnerable and impoverished in theworld. Now they are budding entrepreneurs.They are participants ina CARE Canada Village Savings andLoan Association (VSLA), part ofthe Sustainable Access to FinancialServices (SAFI) program in Rwanda.VSLAs are a CARE innovation,creating economic opportunities forsome of the world’s most vulnerablecommunities. Groups of eightto fifteen people, mostly women,are brought together and givenbasic training in bookkeeping andother business management skills.Once a week they meet, and eachwoman makes a small, affordablecontribution to a group savingspot. After a few months, the groupagrees on one member to loan theiramassed savings to. That memberuses the money to start a smallbusiness, purchase livestock forfood and income, pay health oreducation costs, or other needs.The member then pays the loanback with a small, bearable amountof interest. Then the group lendsout the money to another member.The benefits are huge. VSLAparticipants build up their ownincome-generating ability. Theylearn valuable business skills. Theygain confidence in themselves andthe respect of their families andcommunities. Women gain statusand build greater gender equalityin their villages. Most importantly,they are independent. All that theyhave achieved, they accomplishedwith their own skills and resources.Page 14

Thank youn this annual report we have shared how partnerships are vitalI in all that we do—partnerships with the Canadian InternationalDevelopment Agency (CIDA), with other international and local organizations,and with the women, girls, boys and men we empower everyday. There is another partnership without which none of our work wouldbe possible. That is our partnership with our donors. Our donors are anintegral part of what CARE Canada does. We wish to thank our donorsfor choosing to partner with us, and for all the ways they supportus. We hope our partnership will continue for years to come.Although we do not have space to individually recognize everydonor, the following supporters made a significant contribution (over$1,000) to help us fight poverty and defend dignity in 2010/11.Our DonorsIan AffleckStephen AikinsAntoine AlbertJean-Philip AlbertHamdi AliKoop AlkemaSteve & Barbara AllattDianne AntilaErin ArmstrongAnn H.
