Concern Worldwide US

Our DNA is Irish. Our Mission to End Extreme Poverty is Global.

From our humble beginnings as a group of volunteers in Ireland in 1968 to a team of over 4,700 humanitarians dispersed throughout the world today, we are driven by a vision of a world where no one lives in poverty, fear, or oppression.

The communities we partner with across 25 countries are amongst the most vulnerable. Living on less than $1.90 a day, they lack the necessities we take for granted: enough food, clean water, adequate shelter, and access to a quality education. With generous donations from people like you, we will transform millions of lives this year. Join us today.
