What We Do

Support For World in Need is a grassroots Christian organisation, working towards disaster relief and longer term development issues. It was established in the midst of a refugee crisis during the war in Kosovo in 1999, and has since helped in many countries around the world. SFWIN currently works to alleviate poverty in Romania and Sri Lanka, and responds to some UK-based causes.

SFWIN is committed to providing aid where it is needed regardless of race, religion, politics, or gender.

We Are a Voluntary Organisation

The Support For World in Need team and its members are volunteers who work together to organise and run fundraising events and visit the countries which we support. All admin costs and expenses, including flights, are individually funded by committee members so that every penny raised goes directly to the projects we support.

Urgent Needs

Sri Lanka 2012

SFWIN is seeking funding to support its newly established Orphanage, St Mary's Home in northern Sri Lanka, now home to 12 orphaned children and those who lost family in the 2004 Tsunami.

They are lacking access to clean running water and we are looking for sponsors for each of the children.

Support us through our upcoming events:

Join SFWIN for our sponsored walk on 19th May 2012.

Join SFWIN for an International evening with food and music from around the world on 26th May 2012.

Campaigns

SFWIN Supports:

CAMPAIGN: Thirst for Change
Turn the tide on water poverty. Every 20 seconds, a child dies because of dirty water or unsafe sanitation. Women and girls in the poorest countries spend up to eight hours each day walking to collect water. They are robbed of a chance to earn a living, go to school, or simply spend time together as a family. Please email PM David Cameron and call on him to lead the world in demanding clean water and safe sanitation for all. Together, we can turn the tide on water poverty.

CAMPAIGN: Dried Up, Dried Out
"Dried Up, Drowned Out" - responding to climate change is a matter of justice. We can all play our part through changing our lifestyle and praying. But, we must also call on our government to protect poor people who are hit hardest by the problem. The UK can do more to decrease its emissions and provide climate cash to help poor people respond to climate change. Email the Prime Minister following the links: urge him to work for the UK and other rich countries – who are most responsible for climate change - to agree to deep emissions cuts and ways to deliver climate cash to reach the poorest people.
