Today, a global team of over 3,900 highly skilled and dedicated professionals work with more than 30 million people living in the most difficult situations across 25 of the world’s poorest countries. Often these are humanitarian crises arising because of people fleeing conflict or natural disasters, increasingly related to climate change.

Concern (UK) is an integral part of Concern Worldwide, operates as its subsidiary and plays a vital role by providing funding, advocacy and technical assistance, as well as by raising awareness of its work and the voices and stories of those it supports.
