World Concern is a Christian relief and development agency that works in the most remote areas of greatest need in the world. Our size makes us flexible and able to respond to disasters and needs quickly. We seek out opportunities where no one else is willing to work because we feel called to the hard places. The majority of our staff are nationals of the countries where they work, and our programs are designed to meet the unique needs of each community. We work in partnership with villages, empowering them with purpose and sustainability. We collaborate with communities to achieve the goals they set as priorities. These include sustainable sources of water, food, healthcare, education, child protection, and income. Along with meeting material needs, we bring the love of Christ with the goal of transformation that includes every aspect of life—physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual. We work with villages for as long as it takes them to fully stand on their own and continue to prosper. World Concern currently works in 15 countries, including Kenya, Chad, Somalia, South Sudan, Uganda, DRC, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Laos, Vietnam, Haiti, Nepal, Yemen and Syria.
