Why support the World Development Movement?
We are not another overseas aid organisation but passionate campaigners who tackle the root causes of poverty.
- Change begins at home. By challenging unjust UK policies we end practices that hurt developing countries.
- Small but perfectly formed. Our small, dynamic team will use your donations efficiently to achieve global change.
- Giving a voice to the poor. We work directly with activists in the global south.
Give now and help us campaign for global justice.
I would like to make a donation of:
WDM is an increasingly influential movement of people, committed to finding solutions to the root causes of world poverty. I respect them because they are not afraid to deal with the issues head on. Join me by supporting WDM."
- Benjamin Zephaniah
Here are some recent campaign successes that make us proud:
2013 Two years of concerted campaigning results in Barclays, the UK's biggest player in food speculation, announcing that it will no longer trade in food for speculative purposes.
2011 Lobbying by WDM supporters leads to French oil company Total postponing plans to mine tar sands deposits in one of the poorest regions of Madagascar.
2010 WDM’s water campaign leads to the EU allocating €40 million to support twinning arrangements between public water utilities in poor regions of Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific and wealthier European countries
"By supporting WDM, I know I am helping to tackle the root causes of poverty. WDM challenges the global injustices which are perpetrated by the rich at the expense of the poor."
