This commemorative Ecuadorian stamp celebrates the 25th anniversary of CARE (Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere), an organization founded in 1945 to provide postwar humanitarian aid. The design features a CARE package encircled by a laurel wreath, symbolizing peace and generosity, against a blue background representing global unity. The denomination “50¢” appears on both sides, and the text below credits the Government Printing Office in Quito. Issued around 1971, it reflects Ecuador’s appreciation for international cooperation and humanitarian service.
