The program supports the renovation of two existing nursery schools, the remodeling of three existing buildings into community day care centers, and funds the continued operations of the childcare centers. "The long-term impact of deprivation in early childhood has been well documented," said Elie Nduwayesu, CARE International Orphans and Vulnerable Children Program Manager in Rwanda. "The majority of children who are not in school in Africa are girls and are more likely to experience abuse, neglect, and child domestic labor. The ECD program will protect these children from all types of abuse and contribute significantly to their healthy development. " [5]

CARE’s response to Avian Influenza in Asia is in keeping with its overall strategy of building communities’ capacity to prepare for, respond to and reduce risk from disaster. The spread of this virus has in part been accelerated because of poor living conditions, unsafe hygiene practices, unhygienic markets, poor sanitation systems and lack of early warning systems. CARE is working with communities in these vulnerable environments to raise awareness and design programs that reduce unsafe conditions. They are also working to prevent the potential loss of lives and livelihoods, with particular emphasis on those most vulnerable, including women, children and the elderly. [6]

CARE is a partner with the CORE Group’s work on Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Project (PIP) . The goal of CORE PIP is to create a generic training program for community level response during a pandemic which would target local leaders from multiple sectors who would need to implement non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to reduce person-to-person disease transmission, community- and home-based care of the ill, and other interventions during a pandemic.
