You can find out what we achieved working alongside communities around the world in our 2023 annual report.

More than 30 million people reached

In 2023, Concern supported more than 30 million people in 26 of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable countries, and responded to 66 emergencies in 20 countries.

Bernadette Sexton, Chair of the Board
It is a source of pride and great satisfaction to know that the generous support of people in the UK has enabled us to do so much – increasing children’s access to education and improved health and nutrition services; working with communities to build sustainable livelihoods as a pathway out of extreme poverty; combatting the effects of climate change and building community resilience; and tackling gender inequalities – in some of the hardest to reach and most fragile places on the planet.

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.
