Overseas programmes

Almost 82 pence in every pound donated goes towards our emergency response and long-term development programmes, working together with people living in the most difficult situations to bring about lasting change to lives, livelihoods and communities.

Asma Begum (37) and her husband Abdul with their three daughters Lamia (18), Sadia (16) and Maria (5) and their grandmother Kulsum Begum (72) started CRAAIN in 2020. Asma Begum started as a lead farmer, received training and seeds. Before, she did agri activities but wasn’t very successful. She had received one ring composter from the local gov but no training on how to use it. As a lead farmer, she has supported 400 households in this area. She used to rely on her husband but is now totally reliable.

Concern responding as surge in violence in Haiti forces more than 40,000 people from their homes

Concern Worldwide is responding to the needs of a growing number of people fleeing their homes in Haiti, amid a surge in violence in recent weeks.

The land lies drowned beneath floodwaters, leaving scarcely a patch of grass for grazing. For the people of the chars, their very existence is woven with the animals they raise. In times of flood, their greatest concern is not only for their homes but for the survival of these creatures, hurriedly seeking higher ground where they might find refuge from the rising waters.
