CARE International
United KingdomResearch/Dev
CARE International is one of the world’s three biggest aid agencies. We fight poverty and injustice in over 70 countries and help more than 57 million people each year to find routes out of poverty. With more than 60 years’ practical and hands-on experience, our programmes tackle the deep-seated root causes of poverty, not just the consequences. This often involves working across a range of areas where people's needs are very tangible - provision of clean water, health services and teacher-training, for example. But it can also involve helping people to be masters of their own situation - strengthening their ability to influence decision-makers or demand their rights to crucial services or resources.
Care Local
IrelandCommunity/Family
Care Local has been providing services on a voluntary basis for over 35 years in the Dublin City Council area. Our priority is to identify frail and housebound older people who are experiencing social isolation, as these are one of the most invisible and neglected groups of vulnerable people in our community. Care Local volunteers visit an older person in their local area once a week in the older person's home. This forms the foundation of a relationship that builds and strengthens over time. As an advocate and friend, the volunteer can contribute dramatically to increasing the quality of life of an older person who is experiencing social isolation.

Today, Carefor has more than 750 staff offering professional services such as nursing and in-home physiotherapy through to personal support services, and community support services such as Meals on Wheels and transportation.

CASA is a voluntary organisation, whose goal is to develop friendships between people with disability and volunteers through a variety of activities. CASA was first established in 1981 and since then has introduced new and varied services to people with disability and their families. During our respite care, members with disability, staff and volunteers all live together. During this time we share house activities and various social activities together. Everyone participates in household chores from wash-up to cooking dinner. However its far from all chores as we go out to the cinema, bowling, shopping, walking etc. As we invite a different group of people with disabilities to our house each week, each respite break is made up of many different individuals; therefore each group is very varied. We plan the activities of each group around the personalities and abilities that make up that group.

Caring for Congolese Children
United KingdomResearch/Dev
Caring for Congolese Children is a registered UK charity that assists children suffering from malnutrition, diseases and lack of education in the Democratic Republic of Congo, central Africa. Since 1997 when the civil war began, the country has lost over 5 million people, many of them children, due to the conflict itself and the malnutrition and preventable diseases that followed. Whilst the scale of the problem of child poverty, ill health and illiteracy in Congo is too large for one charity to have a major impact, we do make a worthwhile contribution through our Education and Food and Health programmes. We fight illiteracy among underprivileged children through our child sponsorship scheme, the award of scholarships and the provision of school equipment. We fight malnutrition by supporting small-scale community feeding and health projects set up by local people themselves. We are greatly encouraged by the knowledge that each time we succeed in helping one child to fight malnutrition or to go to school, there is one less malnourished or illiterate child in Congo. "One less", in the knowledge that we cannot help all, is what is important to us.
