In 1968, a small group of Irish people saw suffering and famine in Biafra, and they didn’t wait for the world to act. Our community has grown, but our mission remains the same - because ending extreme poverty, wherever it is in the world, is our Concern. #ItsOurConcern #ConcernWorldwide

An estimated 4.9 million children died before their 5th birthday in 2024, including 2.3 million newborns, according to new estimates released today. Most of these deaths are preventable with proven, low-cost interventions and access to quality health care. Concern’s health and nutrition programmes in some of the world’s poorest countries focus on under-fives and pregnant and breast feeding women. bit.ly/4sXNGBr

The Irish government's @Irish_Aid funded #Hanaano programme is transforming the lives of over 80,000 people in remote communities in northern #Kenya. Learn how ⤵️

𝑩𝒆𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑹𝒆𝒉𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: #𝑯𝑨𝑵𝑨𝑨𝑵𝑶 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒎𝒆 𝑫𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆-𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 16,000 𝑯𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒂 For months, Yabicho B location in Mandera County relied on a deteriorated shallow well system, struggling with low pressure, leakages, and inconsistent supply. Today, clean water flows steadily from newly rehabilitated water kiosks, supported by an upgraded, climate-resilient system built for reliability and sustainability. This complete rehabilitation was implemented through the #HANAANO Programme by @RACIDA_Ngo in partnership with @Concern and funded by @Irish_Aid, a strategic investment designed to strengthen water systems as a frontline defense against vulnerability and child wasting in Mandera Triangle’s drought-prone context. What once meant long queues, unreliable access, and unsafe water has been replaced with a structured and efficient supply network. A 50m³ elevated steel tank now boosts pressure and storage capacity. Transmission pipelines have been repaired and optimized. Chlorine dosing units ensure continuous water treatment and safety. New sanitation facilities reinforce hygiene and public health outcomes. At the kiosk, mothers fill their jerrycans with confidence. Children no longer walk long distances in search of water. The system delivers, consistently. The impact is measurable: over 12,000 households in Yabicho B now access reliable, safe water, with an additional 4,150 households in neighboring villages supported during periods of scarcity. This is more than infrastructure rehabilitation. It is resilience in action, restoring dignity, strengthening community systems, and securing a safer future. #RACIDA #HANAANO #PreventingWasting #ManderaTriangle.

US government representatives visited rural communities in drought stricken Turkana, #Kenya last week to see work they are funding and being done by @ConcernKenya . The impact of the project is impressive: reduced distances to water sources, improved school attendance, safer pregnancies, healthier children, and strengthened household stability. Water access is reducing conflict and displacement, while outreach health and nutrition services are protecting vulnerable populations.
County Government of Turkana@TurkanaCountyKE

A monitoring team this week visited key project sites across Turkana—including Loroo, Namorupus, Naoros, Kangagetei, and Kaeris Dispensary—to assess progress & document impact under the SERVE project, ending in March 2026. Read more: turkana.go.ke/2026/02/28/cou… @Concern @SAPCONE

Four years of conflict have taken a huge psychological toll on the population of #Ukraine, especially children. You live for your children and hide your emotions from them, Larysa explains. “When you are left alone you can cry or to the forest and scream. It makes me feel better.” Concern is providing vital psychosocial support for young and old. Here is the trailer for our new documentary “The Children of Kharkiv”.
