About Support For World in Need PDF Print E-mail

Support For World in Need is a 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.

 

Aside from disaster relief when we have responded during crises, our main focus is on health and education, providing micro-credit or equipment to those wanting to start a self-sustaining trade or skill; establishing our own projects, such as our Orphanage in Sri Lanka; supporting sanitation projects; providing essential items when needed; helping with the construction of local projects when there is need and ambition; and supporting children (and indirectly their families), through sponsorship.

 

SFWIN also supports Campaigns and issues of social justice. We work to alleviate poverty and believe in the importance of tackling the social injustices involved. Please see links to Campaigns on the home page.

How we work

We are a volunteer-run organisation with all overheads: all admin costs and expenses, absorbed by the committee so that every penny raised goes directly to the projects we support.
