About The World Federation

The World Federation is a faith and community-based UK charity (No. 282303) and an international humanitarian NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. The World Federation has existed for over 32 years providing humanitarian services, emergency relief, economic development, institutional reform, member advocacy, and community leadership.

The World Federation believes that all human beings are entitled to basic provisions, and therefore one of its key strategic objectives is to undertake humanitarian projects to achieve this. The long term aim of The World Federation is to bring about self-sufficiency through providing access to water, healthcare and education for all.

In our global partnership with the organisation’s regional members and local civil societies overseas, The World Federation undertakes many projects for the poorest and most vulnerable, by providing access to necessities in areas such as emergency relief, international development, water & sanitation and healthcare, as part of our commitment to the Millennium Development Goals.

Our humanitarian services are delivered in more than 25 countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bosnia, Kashmir, Kosovo, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Palestine.  We promote inclusion, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender and as demonstrated in our constitution and the teachings of Islam.

We have large and diverse networks of humanitarian and development organisations delivering relief and development services aligned with humanitarian principles of social services and volunteerism.
