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 six-weekly Charity Social Lunch on 7th March 2012.

Join SFWIN for an International evening with food and music from around the world on 21st April 2012.

Campaigns

SFWIN Supports:

CAMPAIGN: Child Health Now
Last year 8.8 million children under the age of five died, most from preventable illnesses like diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria. At least two thirds of these lives could have been saved with simple, low-cost solutions, like clean water and sanitation facilities. World Vision's Child Health Now campaign calls for an end to the health crisis that is killing millions of children each year. What's needed is determined and coordinated action from governments all over the world.

Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS
The threats posed by HIV and AIDS are redefining childhood. In 2008, 280,000 children under the age of 15 died because of AIDS. Read about UNICEF'S Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS Campaign.

Campaign: Health and education for all
Every day in developing countries, teachers, doctors and nurses are changing people's lives. But millions of people are still missing out: - 72 million children can't go to school and - Every day 1,400 women die needlessly in pregnancy and child birth. This has to change.
