Centre for Action and Rural Education (CARE) is a grassroots-level, community-centred, non-governmental, and non-profit organization established in 1991 in Erode district, Tamil Nadu. Over the past three decades, CARE has grown from a small local initiative into a dynamic development organization, reaching thousands of individuals and families across Erode and Namakkal districts, covering more than 100 villages in Erode district alone. CARE adopts a holistic, participatory approach, engaging communities from need identification to implementation and review. We deliver practical, locally relevant solutions that build on community strengths and ensure long-term impact. Our work combines awareness, skill development, stakeholder engagement, and service facilitation in collaboration with government, NGOs, and civil society.
Our Key Areas of Work
Our team of professionals, including social workers, trainers, field coordinators, and community leaders are deeply committed to inclusive and sustainable development. We work with people from all walks of life, without discrimination based on caste, religion, gender, or economic background, and places special emphasis on engaging women, children, youth, and marginalized workers, enabling them to play an active role in their community’s growth.
