What was Concern's impact in 2024?

You can find out what we achieved working alongside communities around the world in our 2024 annual report.

More than 27 million people reached

In 2024, Concern supported more than 27 million people in 27 of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable countries, and responded to 50 emergencies in 22 countries.

Concern UK trustee Linda Horgan
I have seen firsthand how vital Concern’s support is for people who are living in extreme poverty and facing vulnerable conditions. Concern is present in some of the world’s hardest-to-reach places, consistently responding in areas that have become ‘forgotten crises’ and do not receive global attention or funding.

Asma Begum (37) and her husband Abdul with their three daughters Lamia (18), Sadia (16) and Maria (5) and their grandmother Kulsum Begum (72) started CRAAIN in 2020. Asma Begum started as a lead farmer, received training and seeds. Before, she did agri activities but wasn’t very successful. She had received one ring composter from the local gov but no training on how to use it. As a lead farmer, she has supported 400 households in this area. She used to rely on her husband but is now totally reliable.
