    Hello Megan R,
    No, there's no minimum amount that you have to raise for the Fast. Anything you manage to raise is extremely helpful.

    For instance, according to this page on the Concern site
    http://www.concern.net/what-we-do/ap...,
    the 70 euro you've already raised helps us to support five families during a drought.
    Of course, the more you can raise the better :) but you should feel proud of yourself!

    Thanks
    Alan

  • Crisis in Kenya

    Right now, in parts of rural Kenya, people are struggling just to stay alive. They need support now or many will certainly die.

    Ten years of repeated drought has left a barren wasteland where no animals can graze and no crops can grow. Now there are growing fears that this year’s rains, when they finally come, will cause severe flooding.

    Our emergency programme is saving lives daily, but without further funding we might have to stop it. To ensure we can continue this work, we urgently need your support.

  • Spread the love!

    Many moons ago, we asked you to vote for us. The result was victory for Concern: we were elected as Lovebox.org.uk’s featured charity: http://www.lovebox.org.uk/index.php

    What does that mean?

    Lovebox have developed “a digital wristband” to help raise money and awareness for different charities around the world via the web. One of these Loveboxes has been developed specifically for us because we won the vote. So download it! http://www.lovebox.org.uk/index.php

    It is a simple way for you to show your support of us, and other charities, especially on social networking sites. All donations go directly to Concern.
