Mission Statement
At KARE, we value and respect local cultures, traditions and lifestyles and believe that all people have a right to basic needs such as food, clean water, security, health care, education, and a healthy environment; and that they also have a right to choose their own path and the lifestyle they treasure and are entitled to live.
We strive to 'Leave No Cultural Footprint', while working to provide the resources and opportunities for people to help themselves, advocate for their basic human rights and safety, and help empower them to provide for their own needs, which allows them to survive and thrive in a rapidly changing world while preserving their cultural heritage.
