World Concern
Relieving suffering, responding to disaster and developing communities—all in the name of Christ
www.worldconcern.org
World Concern works intimately with communities in some of the most neglected regions of the world. We strive to abolish the core causes of poverty, emphasizing livelihood training, literacy and education. We establish beacons of hope in these communities: clean water, food, education and disaster assistance.
World Concern’s staff of devoted professionals spans the globe and is dedicated to supporting the community they live in until the people can support themselves.
Our special area of expertise? Strengthening impoverished peoples. When the poor are given opportunities—through education, small business/agricultural training programs and microloans to start small businesses—their families
flourish and the entire community
regains hope and stability.
At World Concern, we want to do more than help with food and shelter. We want to give people the tools and skills to sustain their lives—and to do it all with the compassion and love of Jesus.
