Reaching millions
In 2025, Concern helped more than 23 million of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people in 27 countries to alleviate poverty and hunger. We also reached 15.7 million people through our emergency response throughout the year.
Concern was founded in 1968 by a small group united by their determination to respond to famine in Biafra. Nearly sixty years later, in a time of immense humanitarian need, we hold fast to that same determination: to ensure that wherever extreme poverty exists in the world, it is still our concern.
Speaking ahead of the launch of the 2025 Concern Annual Report, our CEO Dominic Crowley highlighted increasing humanitarian needs and the significant decline in overseas development aid funding, calling it the largest annual drop in history.
This comes at a time of heightened geopolitical instability, severely impacting efforts to provide humanitarian aid globally. Despite these challenges, Concern continues its vital work, demonstrating the importance of sustained financial aid to combat poverty and support vulnerable communities worldwide.
