1. EDUCATION
Since education plays a significant role in reducing poverty, CARA is involved in empowering the children, parents as well as any adult by helping them to reach their potentials, i.e. by quipping them with the right skills and knowledge that help to transform their lives.

2. HIV/AIDS
CARA helps through education and raising awareness in communities to combat HIV/AIDS in the United Kingdom and Africa since HIV/AIDS is one of the dangerous diseases in developing countries where millions of childrebn are left orphans and as well many adults are left widows. HIV undermines not just social well-being, but the economy as well. The potential threat of HIV and AIDS is something that cannot be ignored.

CARA provides opportunities for those affected by HIV through its advisory services, training volunteers, free condom distribution, promotion of access to voluntary HIV counselling and testing as well as efforts to mitigate the effect of HIV/AIDS in poor communities since these are the effective ways in reducing the spread of HIV.

3. WATER/SANITATION
CARA provides funding sustainable clean water and sanitation facilities in area of greatest need in Burundi, Congo Democratic Republic, Congo Republic, Angola, Central African Republic, Chad, Cameroon, Gabon, Guinea, Rwanda, Congo, etc. It helps to raise awareness of the water crisis through events, fundraising exhibitions and other public awareness campaigns.

Since people in developing world especially children and women walk hours and hours every day to fetch water that is unsafe and likely to cause diseases such as diarrhea and cholera, CARA helps by building hygienic wells and raising awareness of unsafe or inadequate supplies of water, poor hygiene and sanitation that cause diseases and killing people than other forms of violence.

4. POVERTY RELIEF

6. PROSTITUTION

We also address the potential threat of prostitution, such as HIV/AIDS by supporting or empowering the people of Africa within their journey into social and economic integration through our advisory services and funding vocational courses.
