To work with the poorest people in the poorest countries of the world to enable them to transform their lives.

For more than 40 years, Concern has been dedicated to reducing suffering and fighting hunger and poverty. Today, Concern’s work is needed more than ever. A small group of determined people started Concern in response to appeals from missionaries working in war torn Biafra in 1968. Since then, Concern has gone on to work in over 50 countries, responding to major emergencies as well as working in long term development programmes. Today, with more than 3,200 staff of 50 nationalities, Concern operates in 25 of the world’s poorest countries, helping people to achieve major and long-lasting improvements in their lives.
