It works to equip local Christian partners as they share God's love in practical ways with some of the world's most vulnerable communities. Its funding and support cover education, healthcare, building communities, tackling justice and disaster relief. Its latest annual report records £291,559 paid out.

Priority Areas

WorldShare supports local Christian partners working with poor, vulnerable and marginalised communities, with a Christ-centred, locally led approach. It works through churches and other Christian organisations, whose knowledge of their communities, culture and language helps them build trust. Its partners provide education, including schooling and educational support for vulnerable children, and health services for people who would otherwise lack access. They also provide immediate humanitarian aid during natural or man-made disasters. WorldShare’s work joins practical help with sharing the Gospel and seeks hope and transformation in the communities its partners serve.

Geographic Focus

Priority: Around the world.

WorldShare makes grants to existing ministry partners with whom it has a relationship. A signed ministry agreement sets out the relationship and joint responsibilities and provides a framework for annual planning and monitoring.

Who can apply:

• To existing ministry partners with whom we have a relationship.
• In the case of disaster relief, where WorldShare does not have an existing partner 'on the ground', WorldShare may make grants to Christian organisations and churches who adhere to WorldShare's values and Statement of Faith and have been recommended by a trusted organisation.

What to send:

• A signed ministry agreement is in place which sets out the details of the relationship and joint responsibilities, alongside acting as a framework for annual planning and monitoring.
• A specific proposal, which describes the need, proposed activities, the associated costs and expected outcomes within a predicted timeframe.
• There must also be a clear understanding of how the project will benefit the local church and community.

What the charity says:

• Project proposals should describe the need, activities, costs and expected outcomes within a predicted timeframe.
• A proposal must fit WorldShare’s understanding of the partner’s circumstances and potential, show how project funds can be raised, and explain how the project benefits the local church and community.
• For disaster relief without an existing local partner, organisations must be recommended by a trusted organisation and pass due diligence.
