Who We Are

Founded in 2011 by a group of altruistic individuals committed to making a difference to the neediest and most vulnerable in society, World Appeal initially begun by providing vital support across the developing world working to prevent and relieve poverty, improve educational literacy and tackle the urgent problem of scarcity of clean drinking water, by caring for orphans, supporting the development of local schools and through the installation of water pumps and water wells in addition to providing emergency and disaster relief as part of the organisation’s response to global humanitarian crises.

After almost a decade of serving the world’s neediest in some of the most remote destinations across the developing world including Africa, South Asia and the Middle East, in 2020, World Appeal began a process of major organisational reform.

We embarked upon an ambitious capacity development programme streamlining its projects and services to continue serving the neediest and most vulnerable in society, by focusing the charity’s resources to five primary areas of impact.

These include tackling water scarcity, education and skills inequality, socio-economic inequality, food inequality, and last but not least, health inequality.

Through its vital interventions, World Appeal aims to continue transforming the lives of its beneficiaries and empower society’s most vulnerable to create sustainable change, in accordance with the charity’s mission, to build sustainable communities through the advancement of equity and equality of opportunity.

This work will continue across the developing world, particularly, in areas of most acute need. However, to reflect the organisation’s increased focus on domestic support across the UK, many of World Appeal’s future projects and services will be delivered for the benefit of UK beneficiaries, in order to supplement the continued support provided to international beneficiaries.
