What it reported doing in 2024

Concern worldwide u.s. Is an independent affiliate of concern worldwide and supports concern's global humanitarian and development work by raising funds, providing technical support, managing programs, and raising awareness in the u.s. Concern has partnered with the poorest and most vulnerable people around the world to do whatever it takes to help them build better lives and futures. We work to create sustainable change and solve problems holistically so that communities can ultimately thrive without our ongoing support. We do this through programming that focuses on emergency response, climate resilience, and health and nutrition. Livelihoods, education, and water and sanitation are also core components of our work. We design our programs hand in hand with communities - with an emphasis on women and children - and are constantly innovating to maximize the impact and sustainability of our programs.
