        Improving nutrition in the worlds hungriest country, thanks to UK Aid Match

        Thousands of pregnant women and children in the Central Africa Republic – the world’s hungriest country – now have improved access to health and nutrition services, after the completion of a three-year project by Concern funded by the UK government.

        Democratic Republic of Congo: Reaching rural communities amid continuing conflict

        Across eastern DRC, thousands of people are tired, hungry, sick and scared, living in makeshift shelters tightly packed into informal sites often around churches, schools, monasteries, or other peoples’ homes that they hope might offer a measure of safety. Many of these people have fled conflict several times over the past months, caught up in tides of displacement caused by escalating attacks on their communities. As the crisis continues, people like Christian Olodo, Concern’s Area Coordinator for North Kivu, work tirelessly to reach the most vulnerable with emergency assistance.

        2024 - A year to continue to tackle extreme poverty

        As we look forward to 2024, Concern is committed to working together with the millions of people living in extreme poverty to transform their lives, reaching those in emergency situations with essential support, and advocating for change to policies and practices to make a positive and sustainable difference for the world’s most vulnerable communities. 

        Who is Concern Worldwide?

        Concern Worldwide was founded over 50 years ago with a straightforward vision: to end extreme poverty.

        We deliver life-saving and life-changing interventions to some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people. From rapid emergency response to our innovative programming in health and nutrition, livelihoods and education, we go to the hardest to reach places to make sure that no-one is left behind.

        Hadija, and other farmers in her village in eastern Kenya, have been dealing with increasingly severe droughts and unpredictable flooding that make earning a livelihood harder.

        She, alongside many other local farmers, is a participant in Concern’s Lifesaving Education and Assistance to Farmers (LEAF) project. Through this project Concern is helping almost 7,000 farmers adopt climate-smart and resilient agricultural methods in the face of a changing environment, by providing pumps for them to access irrigation canals and drought-tolerant seeds.
