WE BELIEVE IN CHANGE

ABOUT

us with you

We are an Italian non-governative organization that has been operating in India since 1991 to support childhood, women and vulnerable and marginalized communities. To ensure dignity and rights, everyone must be granted the tools that allow the awareness to realize personal aspirations, leading to individual and community well-being. In this perspective, we work side by side with the weaker, ensuring children and young adults are given access to quality education and the chance to continue their studies up to university, supporting women in their path to indipendence and self-determination and working with communities for a socially sustainable economic development.

OUR HISTORY

STARTS FROM SHARING

CARE TO ACTION is founded in 1991 from the encounter with “the poorest among the poor”, also known as the Indian untouchables. Since then we have shared the dream to give the opportunity for growth and change to those who live on the margins. Why we started our work in India:

1 out of 4 malnourished children lives in India

It is the most dangerous industrialized country in the world for women

1% of the population detains 40,5% of the Country’s wealth

40% of child marriages takes place in India

SUPPORT OUR PROJECTS

IN INDIA FOR OVER 30 YEARS

CARE TO ACTION is founded in 1991 in Venice, with the name Care&Share, by the work of a group of friends that, bewildered by the situation they were living, decide to donate a school to the children of Manginapudi, a fishermen village in the Bay of Bengal. Thanks to their dream, 1997 sees the inauguration of the Tharangani school. In the meantime, to give children a tangible support, more and more people start working to set long-distance adoptions in motion; in 2020 the number of children supported at distance is well over 2000. The same year sees the establishment of the non-profit organization that is recognized in 2007 as Non-Governative Organization.

Care&Share Charitable Trust is the Indian partner for this project, with whom, as from 2015, the organization commits to assist orphans, and disadvantaged and abbandoned children, also through the building of two villages (shelters). In 2016 the alliance with Care&Share Charitable Trust is interrupted and new programs are initiated by changing and increasing territorial partners, develping projects that target not only the well-being of the single individual, but the one of whole marginalized communities as well. Through the work with authorities and community leaders and the joint action with other actors of collaboration for the development of India, the association expands the range of action of its activities operating in new areas in the southern part of the Country, developing projects to support education, women empowerment and improvement of slums, rural and tribal areas. In 2023, to attest the organization’s evolution towards a new approach and inclusion of new beneficiaries, Care&Share becomes CARE TO ACTION.

WHERE WE ARE PRESENT

WHERE IN INDIA

Our activities are focused in the southeast of India, particularly in the States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. We operate in urban slums, rural villages and tribal areas, promoting economic development projects and social inclusion.

URBAN AREAS

VIJAYAWADA: With 2.1 milion inhabitants, it is the economic capital of Andhra Pradesh. Here is where the headquarters of CARE TO ACTION INDIA are located and where most of the projects supporting children, women and community are carried out.

HYDERABAD: With 12 milion inhabitants, it is the capital of Telangana. Here, a net of local partners promotes social inclusion and access to education in some slums of untouchables, mostly operating in waste recovery and recycling activities.

TRIBAL AREAS

We operate in Andhra Pradesh to support original India communities (Adivasi). The projects in this area mainly include the educational field because schooling is an essential link with the local community.

RURAL AREAS

In agricultural districts in the southern part of Vijayawada, we work to grant children access to education, promote correct nutritional practices and support the economic and social indipendence of women, the engines of community development.
