A world without hunger. Let’s finish the job.
For over 50 years, Concern has been working to make the vision we share with our supporters a reality: the vision of a world free from poverty, fear and oppression. Together, we continue to fight extreme poverty and work with people living in the most difficult situations, rebuilding and transforming lives, livelihoods and communities.
Much of this work has only been possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters and notably those who have chosen to support our work by leaving a gift in their Will. These very special gifts are crucial to making sure our life-saving work continues for future generations. They also help ensure our supporters’ values of concern for others and determination to fight extreme poverty live on – continuing to rebuild and transform the lives of people who are living in extreme poverty long into the future.
