Read our Executive Director's response to the report's findings.

Here's how we’re ensuring the health and safety of our fundraisers and the public during Covid-19.

On August 4, a devastating explosion occurred in Beirut. Concern is on the ground providing emergency support to people who have had their lives devastated. However, we are not the only ones.

Recovery from the Beirut explosion will be daunting as Lebanon is already facing an economic crisis, an influx of refugees, and a new spike in Covid-19 cases.

Five years ago, members of the UN made a commitment to a plan of action that prioritised people, the planet and prosperity, and sought to strengthen global peace. Then a pandemic hit. 

In Afghanistan, the pandemic comes at a time when the country is grappling with deadly conflict, mass displacement, and a dire economy that has plunged over 80 percent of the population below the poverty line.

The saying ‘the home is where the heart is’ may soon take on a whole new meaning in light of an innovative project being trialled by Concern, in partnership with the Innocent Foundation.

As lockdown measures gradually lift here in the UK, elsewhere millions of refugees and people living in the world’s most fragile places are just beginning their struggle against Covid-19.
