Become a DEC Emergency Appeal Partner

Become a DEC Emergency Appeal Partner

When disaster strikes, Concern acts quickly to save lives. By registering as a Concern Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Appeal Partner, your support will help ensure we can get help quickly to those most in need, and will allow us to plan ahead, supporting communities as they rebuild their lives and build resilience against future crises.

Concern works in some of the poorest and most fragile countries, many of which are highly vulnerable to emergencies such as conflict, natural disasters, food crises and drought. During an emergency, people are at their most vulnerable.

Supporting our emergency response ensures people can continue to access food, shelter and healthcare during the most challenging of circumstances. As it is often children who are the most vulnerable, we specialise in the treatment of acute childhood malnutrition. Following the initial crisis, we stay and work in partnership with communities, combining our expertise with their local knowledge to help build resilience and rebuild livelihoods, ensuring communities are better prepared for future crises.
