About Us
Care Agency for Resilience and Resistance (CARR) is a community-driven NGO focused on practical pathways to resilience in The Gambia and Sub-Saharan Africa.

We support vulnerable children, youth, women, and families through integrated interventions that connect entrepreneurship, education access, migration support, and systems strengthening.
