Founded in Ireland. Committed to the world.
As we enter 2026, humanitarian aid is shrinking while global crises grow more severe.
When many are stepping back, Concern Worldwide continues to step forward.
Founded in Ireland in 1968, we were built on a simple belief: that ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference.
Since then, we’ve gone where the need is greatest - standing with children, families, and communities facing extreme poverty, hunger, and crisis.
Because in moments like these, everyone deserves someone who will show up.
