CARE in Action: Dr. Deepmala Mahla, CARE's Chief Humanitarian Officer
To mark World Humanitarian Day on 19 August in episode #104, Andrea Barschdorf-Hager talks with Deepmala Mahla, CARE’s Chief Humanitarian Officer. Drawing on her experience working on the front line, Mahla discusses the true meaning of being a humanitarian in places such as Gaza, Sudan, Haiti and Ukraine today. She talks about protecting aid workers, listening to communities, and finding hope in the darkest of crises. Despite our different backgrounds, she says, we all have 'the same heart, the same emotions, the same tears'. This personal conversation is a powerful reminder of the shared humanity and solidarity that drives CARE’s work and why every donation matters. "CARE in Action"-Podcast is sponsored by CC Real.
