Activities

CARE’s work in Laos is underpinned by the Core Values of:

Respect – We affirm the dignity, potential and contribution of participants, donors, partners and staff.
Integrity – We act consistently with CARE’s mission, being honest, transparent in what we do and say and accept responsibility for our collective and individual actions.
Commitment – We work together effectively to serve the larger community.
Empowerment – We constantly challenge ourselves to the highest levels of learning and performance to achieve greater impact.

In keeping with these values, the CARE Laos Long Range Strategic Plan 2007 – 2012 outlines the key program foci that guide their programs and operations:

Enhanced Human Capacities in Laos
