The problem

To meet the global demands for long-term care provision, informal Carers are an essential resource. Yet, their contributions to sustainable healthcare often go unrecognized, uncredited and under-valued.

The strategy

Anil is working to create a global movement which recognizes and supports the efforts of informal Carers through advocacy and policy change. His organization Carers Worldwide partners with local organizations to establish ‘Carer support groups’.

The impact

Carers Worldwide affects the lives of more than 300 Carers in India and 1,500 in Nepal. Of the Carers supported in India, 55% of them have secured economically productive activities to help them support their families.

Sustainability

Carers Worldwide has partnerships with The Department for International Development in the United Kingdom, The Commonwealth Foundation and World Vision India.
