Imagine flying into a developing country. The airport is hot and filled with people from unfamiliar places. You get into a truck and begin a dusty journey, beyond the small towns, to villages where people need assistance the most.
World Concern works in a variety of places, but we excel at providing relief in areas not serviced by other agencies.
Our staff includes more than 1,000 people. 95% of us are citizens of the countries where we work. This provides financial value so that we can take on more work. It also gives us a better understanding of the problems we face on a daily basis. Additionally, by employing citizens of the countries where we work, we employ some of the people we may otherwise provide with aid.
Here's where we work:
Burkina Faso, Chad, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tibet, Vietnam, Bolivia, Haiti, Zambia.
We also provide de-worming medication or isolated services to the following countries:
Ethiopia, Uganda, Nicaragua, D.R.C. (Congo), Rwanda, Niger, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone.
