Who We Are

The World Health, Education and Women Welfare Trust UK is a non-profit grant-making organisation, based in the UK with a vision to see the community of countries globally living with dignity, purpose and hope. WHEAWW makes grants to other charities and Non-Government Organisations that create opportunities for holistic development through six key areas: Education, Skills, Youth, Bringing Well-being/health, hope in disaster and Women Welfare. We fund creative and innovative ways to support thousands of women, children and young people from prevention work and crisis to recovery and independence.

WHEAWW grants make sure people can get clean water to drink and decent sanitation. Our grants provide help for people to get food and the essentials they need to survive and ensure the most vulnerable are kept safe from harm. We support them in being better prepared to cope with shocks and uncertainties and we help rebuild communities to come back stronger from disaster and to face the future on their own terms.

We fund work at grassroots level, promoting development, helping people to help themselves out of poverty – supporting their right to work and providing for their loved ones. Advancing women’s rights and building fair livelihoods – these are the most effective ways to end poverty. Because when there’s clean running water. When communities rebuild stronger after a crisis. When people can provide for their families. When women have a chance to live free from discrimination. When girls have the chance to gain an education. When we challenge the systems that keep people poor. When we work for a more equal and sustainable world. That’s when we will end the injustice of poverty for everyone.

We will respond fast in emergencies and fund organisations that will stay to help people rebuild their lives. We will fund work on long-term projects with communities determined to shape a better future for themselves. And we campaign for genuine, lasting change. People are at the heart of WHEAWW Trust. We are all one family.
