world concern partners to transform the lives of poor and marginalized people through disaster response and sustainable community development. The love of christ compels us to pursue reconciliation and equip those we serve, so that they may in turn share with others. In the past year, world concern was active in 15 countries, supporting those who are left out of the main stream of humanitarian aid because of their location, ethnic background or societal power. The organization served 7,420,758 individuals through program services including livelihoods, child protection, disaster response & risk reduction, water & sanitation, non-clinical health and economic development.
