Ebola Emergency Appeal

Single donation

In DRC, our team is responding urgently to this emergency, delivering water, sanitation and hygiene services, personal protective equipment, and promoting vital community awareness.

Urgent action is needed.

Over 900 suspected cases have been reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and a public health emergency has been declared, with cases also reported in Uganda. No vaccine or treatment is available yet for this strain, so prevention is key. Your kind donation will support our emergency response and enable rapid action wherever it is needed to help stop the spread.

Overseas programmes

85 pence in every pound donated goes towards our emergency response and long-term development programmes, working together with people living in the most difficult situations to bring about lasting change to lives, livelihoods and communities.

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.

Funds raised in response to this appeal will go towards Concern's emergency response. There is a small chance that we will raise more money than is needed. If this happens, we'll spend any additional funds on other Concern programmes – wherever the need is greatest.
