We envision a world free from hunger and poverty at all levels.

love and serve

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.

What most people don’t know is that half the world, 47%, lives on less than £5 a day, the amount we may spent on a cup of coffee.  And yet the amount spent on shopping in December in the US alone could end absolute poverty twice over.

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 AIM: END EXTREME POVERTY BY 2050

We are moved to assuage the apathy and rekindle the feeling of interconnection. We provide content that uplifts so that people feel good within themselves and therefore support positive change in the world from the inside out and the outside in.

“The greatest danger to our future is apathy.” 

Jane Goodall (1934-2025), primatologist and conservationist

“We need to convey a sense of urgency because the world is changing. The next ten years are likely to be the most important time in the next 10,000 years.”

Sylvia Earle, Time Magazine Hero for the Planet, Oceanographer, Founder of Mission Blue

“We must respond to the great challenges we face with boundless skills and imagination.”

James A. Michel, Former President of the Republic of Seychelles, Founder and Chair of the James Michel Foundation

“We have [been] choosing to believe that we are not all deeply interconnected with each other and with all of life. We are now seeing the impact of our disease of disconnect. And future generations depend on the courage of our care and commitment right now.”

Julia Butterfly Hill, environmental leader and author of The Legacy of Luna

“Our success or failure as a global community hinges on the need to rapidly build and foster genuine and durable partnerships, with friendship and respect.”

Uili Lousi (1976-2025), President of OHAI Tonga

“Gift the World offers a powerful model of action rooted in responsibility, empathy, and long-term resilience, affirming a simple but profound truth: healing must be whole, or it will not last.”
