Supporting the World's Most Vulnerable Communities
In 2023, with the support of our generous donors, partners, and supporters, GOAL teams reached over 10 million people in 14 countries across Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Ukraine through our emergency response, resilient health, food and nutrition security and sustainable livelihood programmes, among others.
Millions of people continue to endure and overcome unimaginable challenges. They have lost loved ones, homes, possessions, and the sense of stability that we take for granted. Yet their determination, incredible human spirit, and resilience to prevail over all this and create a better future is endlessly inspiring, and we will continue to do all we humanly can to be a relevant organisation, delivering meaningful change for those who need it most. Thank you to those who support the vitally important mission of GOAL.

Annual Report 2023: From Crisis to Resilience
The number of people worldwide whose wellbeing and lives are threatened by hunger, disease, conflict, and climate change is staggering. In 2023, there were over 110 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, 43 million of whom were children. Such statistics underline the importance of transforming GOAL’s Strategy 2025, From Crisis to Resilience, into a reality that improves lives.
Our Strategy 2025 aim is simple: to help strengthen vulnerable communities so they are resilient enough to overcome future crises and emergencies. GOAL’s agility and expertise in responding to extreme challenges has been proven over many decades. However, short-term responses are not enough. It is essential that vulnerable communities can withstand future shocks in whatever form they take.
