For people living in the world's most fragile places, conflict and disaster can make survival a daily challenge. Homes are destroyed, livelihoods are lost and communities can be pushed deeper into poverty. But it shouldn't be that way.
When emergencies strike, Concern provides life-saving support to families and communities. We then stay and work alongside people as they recover, rebuild and strengthen their resilience against future crises.
By responding to immediate needs while investing in long-term recovery, we help people overcome today's challenges, build futures and look forward with hope. Together, we can help stop the extreme becoming everyday.
A closer look at our emergency programmes
We aim to contribute to lasting improvements in the lives of the extreme poor through the implementation of rapid responding, risk reduction and community resilient programmes. Here we spotlight three of our approaches.
Rapid emergency response
One of the main objectives of our emergency programme is to respond rapidly to emergencies in order to save lives and reduce suffering. For example, Concern launched its programme in Yemen in 2024 to meet the most urgent needs of the most vulnerable people. In our first year of operation we supported six health units, facilitating integrated health and nutrition services for over 29,400 people.
