Concern Worldwide implements a diverse set of activities related to international aid and development.1

Concern Worldwide applied for funding through our grant application process for organizations working on economic empowerment in Sub-Saharan Africa.

1. The charity primarily transfers cash directly to poor individuals
2. The charity provided a rigorous impact study demonstrating program effect
3. The charity is using donations to create profitable programs
4. The charity primarily runs microfinance programs and can answer our questions for microfinance charities
