Mission Statement

CONCERN Worldwide is a non-governmental, international, humanitarian organisation dedicated to the reduction of suffering and working towards the ultimate elimination of extreme poverty in the world's poorest countries. Our mission is to help people living in extreme poverty achieve major improvements in their lives which last and spread without ongoing support from CONCERN. To achieve this we engage in long term development work, respond to emergency situations, and seek to address the root causes of poverty through our development education and advocacy work.
