Concern Worldwide is an international humanitarian and development organization that delivers emergency relief and long-term development programmes in some of the world's poorest countries. Its work spans food security and livelihoods, health and nutrition, education, gender equality, and climate and environment resilience. The organization is funded through voluntary public donations, institutional grants from government and multilateral donors, corporate partnerships, and legacy gifts, with a stated commitment to directing the majority of incoming funds to programme activities.

Product overview
