World In Need was founded in 1991 and works with all who need Practical Mission, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or gender.

World in Need exists for ‘Practical Mission’. That is as disciples, we help the poor, the hungry and those in need of education. Having experienced this expression of God’s love we then give these people the opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus, to know Him more and develop a relationship with Him as Lord and Saviour of their lives.

World In Need is a global network of national initiatives. We work with impoverished families, orphans, refugees, handicapped, traumatised, slum and poor children from many countries including DRC, Kenya, Pakistan, India, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Philippines, Uganda and Bangladesh.

The people who head the work in the field are all handpicked by us and we are fully assured of their suitability and qualifications for the work they are doing, and of their personal and professional integrity. They are all disciples of Christ, and eager for others to hear of Him.

All our workers and leaders are indigenous to the countries where they work. This means they know and understand, in ways no-one from outside can ever truly manage, the hopes, culture and needs of those they serve and can thus tailor the work to ensure it is of greatest benefit to the highest number of people.
