About Us
World In Need (WIN) is a Christian organisation seeking to help men, women and children in some of the most disadvantaged areas in the world, to overcome the suffering, poverty and difficulties that they face in their daily lives.
What have we done to help?
WIN was formed in 1991 in response to the crisis facing the Kurdish people in Iraq. Since then, our teams have helped victims of the earthquake disaster in Turkey, slum children in Delhi, drug addicts in Thailand, "Smokey mountain" rubbish dump dwellers in northern Philippines, Borana nomads in Kenya, Fulani and Hausa peoples in Nigeria. We have given aid in Kosovo, started work with orphans in Uganda, helped develop jobs in Mombasa, and assisted the refugees in Azerbaijan.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT is: " Changing attitudes through aid and education"
World In Need started in 1991:
|
As a direct response to the urgent needs of the Kurds who were gassed by Saddam Hussein in Iraqi Kurdistan.
With the clear understanding that western help needs to be locally sensitive and to empower local people to find local ways of making changes in their own culture. |
This has grown into a movement working in some 20 countries, encouraging and empowering those who seek to make a difference where they live, and to own their own development work. Although we are practising Christians and take the teachings of Christ seriously our help is non-partisan, unconditional and faith based. |
