I've been involved with CARE for the past ten plus years and have personally seen the work they do up close, as a researcher in the field, as a donor visiting sites, and as an advocate on the HILL. CARE is well-respected by host countries, other NGOs, and our State Department, and its holistic programs are carefully thought out to maximize empowering communities to effect change. CARE has made significant lasting change, especially regarding women and girls' health, as well as helping millions with disaster relief and rebuilding efforts. CARE continually assesses how its doing and uses and shares lessons learned with other NGOS to continually improve on programming.

As someone who does a lot with nonprofits, it is a full time job–7 days a week/24 hours a day especially with our connected world. It's also complicated. CARE has a long history of doing good. Instead of focusing on the CEO, let's focus on the accomplishments. I've worked for and with CARE for years. When there is a disaster, they are there. And involved on so many levels from policy, women's health issues, gender discrimination, maternal health, hunger, disease and more. Does anyone want to imagine a world without CARE and similar organizations. I don't. Especially where there is so much injustice and preventable diseases and things left to resolve.
