CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty and providing lifesaving assistance in emergencies.

Thirdly, the Emergency program provides direct humanitarian relief to victims of drought and conflict. CARE Somalia/Somaliland has three programs namely Rural Women, Urban Youth, and emergency.
