(UK, 1105697) Welcome to Concordis International's Virgin Giving page! Armed conflict destroys not only lives but also livelihoods, environment, homes, economy, schools, healthcare - and hope. Concordis International works impartially alongside those involved in or affected by armed conflict, so that through dialogue they may build relationships of mutual trust and together develop and implement policies that improve human security and lay firm foundations for lasting peace. Our approach enables influential representatives from all factions to come together, recognise and identify the underlying causes of their grievances and, through unthreatening, face to face dialogue backed up by objective research, find sustainable and peaceful solutions out of the cycle of violence. Concordis is currently working in Kenya, Sudan, South Sudan and Cote d'Ivoire.

We believe in forging strong relationships and no matter the size of the organisation we work with, expect and ensure complete accountability, credibility and transparency. We believe in being pragmatic and flexible in our approach to our work and ensuring that donors/supporters are always aware of what their contributions are achieving.
