Carers Worldwide

Carers Worldwide supports unpaid family carers in low- and middle-income countries. We create peer support groups, provide access to healthcare, respite and earning opportunities for unpaid carers, and equip them to advocate for their rights.

Mukta’s Story: responsibility beyond her years

Mukta’s Story: responsibility beyond her years
Mukta cares for her brother Al-Amin, who was born with spina bifida. Throughout her childhood, Mukta played a big part in caring for her little brother, often missing school to look after him. Her friends didn’t understand and she felt very isolated.

Finding support

Finding support
When she joined one of our Carers Groups, she finally found people who understood. Her group also provides practical support for unpaid carers like counselling, access to healthcare and even loans to help carers set up income-generating activities.

Caring for the carers

Caring for the carers
The support provided by Carers Worldwide ensures that unpaid carers can look after their loved ones without sacrificing their own well-being. A gift today will help us reach more carers like Mukta and provide them with the support they deserve.
