💧 Water is life—and CARE is working around the world to ensure communities have access to clean water, safe sanitation, and hygiene. From building wells to empowering women as water infrastructure leaders, we’re tackling the water crisis at its root. Because when communities have water, they have health, dignity, and a future.

On this International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, let us all work together to build a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Women entrepreneurs have the confidence, skills, and drive to succeed—so why do financial systems keep holding them back? From limited access to credit to outdated biases, the barriers are real, but change is possible. It’s time to shift the narrative and build inclusive financial systems that invest in women’s success.

More than 400 people, including many women and children have been killed in Israeli strikes on various parts of Gaza, marking the collapse of the ceasefire two months after it went into effect. This recent escalation comes on the heels of Israel’s decision to block aid from entering Gaza on March 2. Critical lifesaving supplies are being prevented from reaching families. Medical equipment, tents, cooking gas, fuel for hospitals, water stations and trucks used to remove garbage are all being blocked. We call again for hostages to be released and all parties to comply with their obligations under international law. https://ow.ly/3zF650Vkihw
