An international humanitarian charity based in London, UK
Nourishing the World in Body, Mind and Spirit
At Gift the World, we don’t just give physical aid. We ignite the joy of giving and the wellbeing that comes from feeling interconnected, to target poverty at its root.
Nearly half the world, 47%, lives on less than £5 a day: the amount we may spend on a cup of coffee. And yet global online shopping in the 2024 holiday season was £949 billion – almost four times the amount needed to end global absolute poverty.
Why this gap?
A deeper inner poverty of heart, rooted in feeling disconnected from self, others, and the world, affects us all and leads to increasing apathy globally.
Our approach addresses poverty at all levels. We measure success not simply in mouths fed, but in lives improved, and in the increase of peaceful, happy, and healthy communities.
