CARE company history timeline
60 years of history and achievements CARE began with the establishment of The Cooperative for American Remittance to Europe in November 1945 by 22 American organisations with the aim of providing relief to post-war Europe.
CARE was formed in 1945 as an umbrella organization for a group of United States and Canadian associations working to help rebuild war-torn western Europe.
CARE entered war-torn Japan for the first time the following year, in May 1948.
It then formed an execution agreement with the Ministry of Economy and Industry, and began to work immediately. Its headquarters were established at 4-63 Bentendou, Naka-ku, Yokohama and on 9 July 1948.
At that time, CARE's activities consisted of sending "CARE Packages" filled with subsistence goods such as food and clothing to those suffering in the aftermath of WWII. CARE's support was extended to Japan in 1948 and over the next 8 years, 10 million Japanese received $2900000 (US) worth of aid.
In 1949, as part of a food-provision project aimed at Japanese schoolchildren, CARE supplied powdered skimmed milk for use in school lunches.
CARE's aid to Japan spanned over eight years, and came to an end on 30 December 1955, when Japan began to show signs of recovery.
Thirty four years later in 1987, Japan found itself in a position to help those suffering from poverty around the world.
