Concern in Somalia

2026 marks Concern’s 40th anniversary of working in Somalia. Thanks to the deep trust we’ve built with local communities over four decades, our team has been able to safely navigate complex working environments to deliver essential assistance and support to those who need it most. 

Last year, we reached 1.32 million people in Somalia (including over 372,000 direct program participants) with a combination of emergency response and long-term development support. Currently, we’re supporting 22 clinics in the country, and saw over 209,000 patients last year for essential preventative and curative care — including 85,000 cases of malnutrition. 

We also provided free education to over 10,000 children in the Banadir and Lower Shabelle areas, many of whom are internally-displaced or from host communities.
