What we provide

Rescuing children from hunger, abuse and disease

World Concern helps hungry childrenChildren are our hope for the future. That’s why so much of World Concern’s work is focused on their survival, well-being and growth.

In the countries we serve, children are challenged by civil war, malnutrition, illiteracy, trafficking, HIV/AIDS and a lack of hope for the future.

Learn how we prevent child trafficking and provide for orphans and vulnerable children.


Child Sponsorship: a relationship and hope

World Concern Child SponsorshipRural children in our programs receive dairy goats, chickens and other farm animals to raise and sell.

Our Child Sponsorship Program gives donors the opportunity to exchange letters with a boy or girl, while supporting him or her with community services such as clean water, food, and medical care.

You will be pleased to find what a child receives for $28 a month.


A chance for good health without worms

World Concern deworming to help end hungerMost of the children we serve suffer from intestinal parasites as well as malnutrition, which makes them more susceptible to disease, skin and intestinal disorders, and disabilities affecting learning and growth.

That’s why World Concern provides millions of school children worldwide with de-worming medications and vitamins, which improves their health, strength, learning capacity and ability to resist disease.
