What we stand for

What we stand for

Our vision, our mission and our work are all defined by one goal – ending extreme poverty, whatever it takes. Our teams on the ground are working together with people living in the most difficult situations, to bring about lasting change to lives, livelihoods and communities.

For over 50 years, Concern has been working to make the vision we share with our supporters a reality: the vision of a world free from poverty, fear and oppression.

Together, we continue to fight extreme poverty and work with people living in the most difficult situations, bringing about lasting change to lives, livelihoods and communities.

Today we are a team of over 3,500 highly skilled and dedicated professionals from 50 countries who share an exceptional depth and diversity of experience.

Each year our specialist teams work with 25 million people living on less than $2 a day, from war zones in Syria and Somalia to devastating floods in Bangladesh.

Our track record

We have a track record in developing cutting-edge approaches that have pushed the boundaries of innovations in maternal and child health care, cash transfers, emergency response and more.
