Support from private donors is a critical source of funding for Concern’s lifesaving programs in 28 of the world’s poorest countries. Such donations not only allow us to maintain our independence, but also enable us to respond rapidly and efficiently in emergencies, and provide communities with long-term, sustainable solutions to poverty.
The following examples demonstrate the ways in which your support can help make a tangible difference in the lives of the poorest.
A gift of $30 can give 15 children the opportunity to attend school in Haiti.
A gift of $45 can help a community produce sustaining crops by providing them with seedlings to grow 15 trees.
A gift of $50 can enable Concern to buy enough chlorine solution to ensure that 3,000 people have safe drinking water for one month.
A gift of $91 can help send a child to school for a year – including the cost of a mandatory uniform, a pair of shoes, a school bag and lunch.
A gift of $100 can help train 10 healthcare workers to deliver vaccinations to children in poor communities.
A gift of $180 can help Concern build a latrine that will facilitate 20 families with an average of 5 members each.
A gift of $250 can provide training to 500 village members on the day-to-day treatment of drinking water.
A gift of $500 can provide vaccinations against the most common deadly diseases: malaria, pneumonia and respiratory diseases, preventing children from suffering needlessly.
A gift of $3,000 can build a community cistern supplying enough water to 150 families
A gift of $5000 could cover the cost of running a farm that grows mosquito-repellent plants for one year. Such plants naturally repel mosquitoes, and when planted in refugee and IDP camps and near water source, they help ward off mosquitoes, helping reduce the spread of malaria.
