Humanitarian funding is falling by 68% while hunger rises. Now, the 2026/27 El Niño puts 172.3M women & girls at risk.
We have the tools to stop this—every $1 in early action yields $7 in benefits.

#AA #ElNiño
An intensifying #ElNiño is putting food, water, & livelihoods at risk across the #Pacific. #Climate shocks are never gender-neutral—women & girls bear a disproportionate burden. CARE calls for early action & locally-led preparedness.

#InternationalDayOfTheGirl: A restored spring in Ethiopia gives girls something precious: time to stay in school. Through CARE’s Uplift Her project, girls in Medhicho #3 no longer walk 10km for water. Clean water is 20mins away—keeping girls in class & advancing #GenderEquality.
Resilience can't replace lost income, put food on the table, or replenish savings.
A new @CARE report finds 3 in 4 women surveyed across 7 countries say crises are making it harder to earn enough money.

Women are adapting, but resilience has limits. Climate justice means ensuring women have the resources, support, & opportunities to recover & prepare for what comes next.

What happens when early warnings lead directly to early action? 🤔
In Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬, communities faced severe flooding with confidence—not panic.
Through CARE's Anticipatory Action approach, families protected their homes & livelihoods BEFORE floodwaters rose. [1/3]
Here's what happened with #AnticipatoryAction on the ground:
🔸 97% said early warnings & simulations reduced fear 🔸 Advanced alerts helped vulnerable groups & people with disabilities relocate safely
🔸 Pre-disaster repairs to latrines, solar lights, & water collection
[2/3]
Anticipatory action shifts the focus from post-disaster response to proactive protection. 🛡️

Prevention is better than cure. As #ElNiño intensifies climate impacts, acting before hazards become crises is more critical than ever. In just 1 week, CARE’s Early Action Fund (EAF) released $225,000+ for #AnticipatoryAction in Madagascar, Malawi, & Somalia.
[1/2]
Turning early warnings into early action, the fund is supporting cash assistance, drought-tolerant seeds, and flood preparedness so communities can prepare before the worst impacts hit.

At #3ACFC26 in Uganda, CARE's Climate Policy Advisor, Obed Koringo, raises a point: how do we ensure #climatefinance reaches the frontlines?
Ahead of #COP31, finance must be predictable, accessible, & grant-based—reaching #locallyled solutions, esp. those led by women & girls.
In Ecuador, extreme weather threatens food security. 🇪🇨 But 50-year-old Laura is adapting.
With a Lendwithcare loan, she bought fertilizer & protective mesh for her pepper farm—shielding crops from drought & flood while employing 2 local workers.🫑

Laura’s story is a great example of why #InternationalYearOfTheWomanFarmer matters.👩🌾
Women farmers sustain food systems on climate frontlines, but adaptation requires financial access.

@WFP warns El Niño could push tens of millions into acute #foodinsecurity— 172.3M women & girls across hard-hit regions are already at risk.
#Climate shocks deepen #inequalities, raising risks of GBV & child marriage while cutting access to food & education. (1/2)
That’s why @CAREGlobal isn't waiting for disaster to hit. Through our Early Action Fund, we partner w/ local, women-led orgs on early warnings, anticipatory cash, & resilient livelihoods to protect families before extreme weather strikes. (2/2)
