Gift the World is an international humanitarian charity, headquartered in London, UK, that nourishes the world in body, mind, and spirit, with the specific vision of ending global hunger and poverty at all levels by 2050.
It is motivated by the fact that the world has never been in greater need of help than it is now with close to 50% of people globally living below the poverty line, at least 25% being affected by conflicts or war, and over 1 billion people being affected by diagnosed mental health issues or chronic physical illness.
It achieves its goals through a three-pillar strategy of:
(i) providing education and means to better care for themselves, others and the planet as a whole;
(ii) the provision of direct aid to those that are most in need, primarily in the form of food, water, shelter and medical care;
(iii) the delivery of infrastructure projects such as the building of hospitals, wellbeing centres, educational facilities, and the establishment of organic sustainable farms; and the wellness, educational and training programmes associated with these.
And to facilitate this it has established its three charitable purposes as:
• The prevention and relief of poverty
• The advancement of health and relief of sickness
• The advancement of education
Through these it provides immediate alleviation of the immense suffering seen in the world at the moment, while building the foundations for sustained development going forward.
It realises revenue to fund these activities by distributing and selling uplifting creative content to those who can afford to purchase it, creating a further vector of public benefit by bettering the lives of customers and encouraging their charitable activity in turn. It has agreements in place with philanthropic businesses to provide innovative production and marketing of the creative content, that further creates broad public awareness of the charity and its donation opportunities, at costs far below market rate.
