CARE Danmark´s projects fight the poverty which characterizes everyday life for millions of people in developing countries. In developing countries the majority of people lives in the rural areas, where they are entirely dependent on being able to cultivate the land in order to get food. Often poverty forces the poor into uncontrolled cultivation of the land which they are dependent on. The result is an impoverished, barren land and additional poverty. CARE Danmark strengthens the capacity for self-help which turns the development around and makes sure that families are ensured better food security. Better crops are introduced as well as improved farming methods and alternative possibilities of income are established in connection with this. In Asia CARE Denmarks works in Vietnam and Nepal
