CONCERN WORLDWIDE

Concern Worldwide is a Dublin-based international humanitarian organisation dedicated to ending extreme poverty, wherever it exists. Drawing on a legacy that began in a Dublin living-room in the 1960s, Concern now works in almost 50 countries, delivering rapid emergency relief and long-term development programmes that help the world's most vulnerable communities survive and thrive.

The charity's core specialisations include emergency response, livelihoods, health and nutrition, education, gender equality and climate-and-environment resilience. In 2024 alone, more than 16.8 million people benefitted from emergency actions, 2.6 million accessed livelihoods support and countless others received health, nutrition and schooling interventions. Concern's transparent funding model ensures that 88.2 pence of every euro donated goes straight to these programmes, with the remainder covering fundraising, advocacy and governance.

Through a mix of institutional donors, corporate partnerships, school-based fundraising and individual giving, Concern mobilises resources that turn urgent needs into lasting change, offering supporters a clear, accountable way to make a tangible difference in the fight against poverty.
