We believe the family is the cornerstone of the community, and if families are strong, whole communities will be uplifted. Most often, the children who are vulnerable to prostitution, malnutrition, and abuse can best be helped by reaching out to the family as a whole. By participating in well-proven programs, each family is equipped to overcome the cycle of poverty. Livestock development, improved crops, proper irrigation, and emergency food distribution are improving food security for families. Microenterprises, small business loans, and management training also enable them to improve their standard of living for the long term.
Emergency relief is given with the goal of long-term development if needed.
Most importantly, we bring the hope of Christ's love as we serve. With the help of faithful donors, World Concern serves over 4 million of the world's poorest people each year. We do this through our own field workers in 22 countries. They are seasoned professionals, willing to share their skills and give their lives for the people we serve. Through strategic partnerships around the world, World Concern serves over 80 countries, helping to change the lives of those without hope.
