INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

CARE is an international development and humanitarian aid organization fighting global poverty, with a special focus on working with women and girls to bring lasting change to their communities. As a non-religious and non-political organization, CARE works with communities to help overcome poverty by supporting development efforts and providing emergency assistance. We believe supporting women and girls is one of the most effective ways to create sustainable outcomes in poor communities.

CARE International in Myanmar is implementing the Generating Rubber Opportunities (GRO) Myanmar Project, a Market Systems Development (MSD) project.
