Why your support matters
And where your money goes

Your support allows us to continue our work around the world, and to deliver life-changing support to people and communities in need.

For over 50 years, Concern has been working with communities in some of the world’s hardest to reach and most fragile places. The communities we support are in places prone to conflict, natural disasters, the impacts of climate change, extreme hunger, and in some cases, famine. 

Thanks to you, we can always be there.  

Where your money goes
