Our Impact
In 2011-2012, Concern Universal helped over two million people across ten countries make lasting improvements to their lives: in terms of food security and sustainable livelihoods; improved health; respect for rights; improved skills and reducing vulnerability.
We have significantly increased our engagement in national and international level advocacy, education and lobbying since this became a core strategic objective in 2009.
