Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2012 3 About CARE International and CARE International UK CARE International’s vision CARE International seeks a world of hope, tolerance and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and people live in dignity and security. We will be a global force and partner of choice within a worldwide movement dedicated to ending poverty. We will be known everywhere for our unshakeable commitment to the dignity of people. We work in 84 countries across five continents. In the past year, we have directly supported more than 122 million people. This makes us one of the biggest aid and development agencies in the world. 97% of CARE staff are citizens of the countries where they work, helping local communities to help themselves. When emergency strikes, we get there fast because we are permanently working in countries. We save lives and meet immediate needs. And once the world’s focus has moved on, we’re still there, helping to rebuild devastated homes and livelihoods. In areas where famine and flooding are serious threats, we work with communities to help them prepare for the worst, building their resilience to disaster. For others, where emergency is not such a threat, but poverty prevails, we help people tackle the root causes. These may be very tangible, improved health services for example, or may involve helping people to be in control of their own situation by strengthening their ability to influence decision-makers. We focus on women and girls as they are typically the most marginalised in their society and, by helping them, we can maximise our impact on poverty. To bring about lasting change, we build strong understanding of the local context, hiring local staff and working in partnership with local organisations. CARE International UK’s mission CARE International UK is a driving force within the worldwide CARE International confederation, which has its secretariat in Geneva. We are recognised within the global organisation for: • making resources available for overseas activities • influencing the policies and practices of government, business and other organisations • inspiring and engaging the public • continuously improving the impact of our work. 4 Defending Dignity. Fighting Poverty. A message from our retiring Chair Although it will be difficult to move on after eight rewarding years as Chair of CARE International UK, I am pleased to be leaving at a time when CARE is delivering new and sustainable solutions to poverty. Coming from the private sector, I have been especially interested in seeing the emergence of CARE’s work with business, influencing the sector to play a positive role in the fight against poverty. The increasingly global nature of many large companies’ operations means they have a significant role to play in development issues. It is crucial to CARE to ensure that role is a positive one, applying its influence to shape market interactions and stimulate inclusive growth that favours the world’s poor. We are therefore working with a number of multinational corporations such as Barclays and Kraft helping them to embrace new business models which have social, environmental and economic benefits. GlaxoSmithKline is one of the companies we are partnering with and through GSK’s commitment to reinvest 20% of profits made in the Least Developed Countries back into projects that strengthen the healthcare infrastructure of those countries, we have been able to invest heavily in long-term efforts to improve maternal, neonatal and child health. CIUK was one of three leading NGOs chosen to lead this re-investment and our focus is on the Asia Pacific region. We don’t, however, only work with big business. Our micro-financing initiative, lendwithcare.org, was launched in 2010 and has been going from strength to strength, with loans approaching the £1 million mark this year. The scheme allows people here in the UK to lend small sums of money, typically around £15-£30, to entrepreneurs in the developing world who need a loan to start or expand a small business. Lenders I have spoken to say they find it really rewarding to be able to follow the progress of the venture they have invested in, and, once the loan is fully repaid, re- invest in another entrepreneur. I have invested myself, in Zalifa, a market stall holder in Togo. We are thankful

  • Crowdfunding in Asia
    Crowdfunding in Asia May 2018 Introducing the first free directory of crowdfunding platforms across Asia. The data is based on the AlliedCrowds Capital Finder, a database of over 7,000 alternative finance capital providers across emerging markets. Our data has been used by organizations like FSD Asia, UNDP, World Green Economy Organization, GIZ, World Bank, and others in order to provide unique, actionable insights into the world of emerging market alternative finance. This is the latest of our regular reports on alternative finance in emerging markets; you can find all previous reports here. Crowdfunding rose in prominence in the post-financial crisis years (starting in 2012), and for good reason: a global credit crunch limited the amount of funding available to entrepreneurs and small businesses. Since then, crowdfunding has grown rapidly around the world. Crowdfunding is especially consequential in countries where SMEs find it difficult to raise capital to start or grow their businesses. This is the case in many Asian countries; according to the SME Finance Forum, there is a $2.3 trillion MSME credit gap in East Asia and the Pacific. Crowdfunding can help to fill this gap by offering individuals and small businesses an alternative source of capital. This can come in the form of donation-based as well as lending-based (peer-to-peer or peer-to-business) crowdfunding. In order to help entrepreneurs and small business owners to find the crowdfunding platform that’s right for them, we are releasing the first publicly available list of all crowdfunding platforms across Asia. The report is split into two key sections: the first one is an overview of crowdfunding platforms, and how active they are across the largest markets on the continent.

  • City Index Announces Kate Garraway and Clare Nasir As May’S Celebrity Trader
    CITY INDEX ANNOUNCES KATE GARRAWAY AND CLARE NASIR AS MAY’S CELEBRITY TRADER. London, UK, 15th May, 2011 – City Index, a global leader in Spread Betting, Contracts for Difference (CFDs) and margined foreign exchange, are Day Breaking the markets with Morning GMTV Presenter Kate Garraway and Weather Girl Clare Nasir for April’s Celebrity Trader. Kate Garraway and Clare Nasir have been staples of daytime television for years, wowing the nation at GMTV before taking up their current roles at Daybreak. The pair are two of the hardest working presenters on TV, so just how did they find the time to be this month’s City Index celebrity traders? Was it trading teamwork, or forex feuding? Kate has been an enthusiastic trader, the start of the competition saw her dive straight off the deep end and short the FTSE after reading that the markets had begun the week with a bearish undertone that looked set to continue. Her strategy – ‘selling in strength’. Kate sold at £10 per point a, rather brave and aggressive approach, resulting however in her receiving a nearly instantaneous margin call from trusted City Index Trader Kishan Mandalia. This didn’t shake her confidence however, and she did eventually enjoy something of a rally on this trade. Over optimism was her down-fall here unfortunately though, as the UK 100 Index pushed up towards the 6000 mark, resulting in a disappointing loss as the trade crystallized £130 down. This turn in fortune for the FTSE 100 was a welcome bonus for Clare on the other-hand, as she placed the opposing trade, taking a long position on the index and successfully crystallizing a £61 profit.

Equitable Distribution of Microfinance? How language, ethnicity, and religion affect access to microcredit loans. Hallie Westlund Government Honors Thesis Advisor: Professor Maurits van der Veen Abstract Microfinance consists of small loans or savings given in the form of microcredit to help foster the growth of small businesses and help those who do not have access to formal financial institutions. Scholarship is mixed on whether microfinance is successful or not in lifting people out of poverty, but microfinance has been shown to help individuals run more successful businesses. Microfinance loans are not distributed equally; some regions and countries receive far more loans than others.

CARE enables lasting change by strengthening the capacity of communities and households through social, political and economic opportunities, delivering relief in emergencies, influencing policy decisions, and addressing discrimination. For 75 years, CARE has led the way to a better life for the world’s most vulnerable people across 100 countries and 70 million people, each year. In fiscal year 2020, CARE and partners worked in 104 countries to reach 92 million people directly through 1349 projects and initiatives. CARE also reached 433 million people indirectly through its advocacy, replication of successful programs and scale up of innovations. FOCUS ON WOMEN AND GIRLS In the Philippines, CARE is known for its rights-based, community-based, participatory approaches in extensive humanitarian response and development programming. Since 1949, CARE Philippines has worked to deliver life-saving aid to communities most at need and has effectively done so by investing in local partnership-building with civil society, government, and the private sector. Across our work in emergencies and community resilience, we have been intuitively gender-conscious; we have deliberately anchored our success stories around women and their experiences; and we have trialed practices and techniques to empower women economically and meaningfully engage truly vulnerable sectors.
