Cuba braces for Hurricane Ian's landfall
CARE is currently monitoring the situation and is ready to respond by providing non-food items, hygiene kits, and shelter kits.
History of CARE International's work in Cuba
CARE International began its work in Cuba in 1995, and initially supported Cubans through economic instability by ensuring that food was available and accessible to those facing food insecurity.
What CARE International does in Cuba
Cuba faces risks from natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, and floods. Because of this, much of our approach focuses on building resilience to both humanitarian emergencies and slow-onset disasters.
Today, our work in Cuba focuses on:
- Promoting sustainable livelihoods
- Water and sanitation
- Disaster risk reduction, the climate emergency adaptation, and emergency response
- Gender equality
