Concern Worldwide

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 uplifting Friday post! Watch to see how Concern is working with local partners and communities to protect vital farmland from flooding and build sustainable livelihoods in #Somalia. With heavier than usual rains expected in this region in the coming months due to El-Nino, this work takes on even greater importance. ⤵️

Investing in people builds resilience. With @IrishAid support through @ConcernWorldwide Food Systems Programme, climate-smart farming adoption has risen from 26%→78% and business skills 31%→53%, boosting incomes & climate adaptation. #FoodSecurity

Through the #ERCCIIProject🇧🇩, Reboti Sarker now has safe drinking water💧, grows vegetables, and earns extra income with a rainwater harvesting system, a household water filter, and climate-smart farming support, proving #resilience starts at home.

This weekend a group of Concern's most dedicated supporters took on Ireland's highest peak, Carrauntoohil, after setting off at 5am to beat the heat.
