Grants 2008

Secured grants for One World Week

We are very grateful to all the organisations and individuals who support One World Week. So far in 2008 we have secured grants from CAFOD (www.cafod.org.uk ), Christian Aid and the United Reformed Church and many donations from individuals. We thank them all for their financial support which makes possible the continuing development of the new website and contributes to the success of One World Week.

New Project Funding

The Department for International Development's Development Awareness Fund has awarded OWW a grant for a three year Interfaith project: "Exploring Ubuntu", from 2008 - 2011. Through this project One World Week hopes to extend awareness about international development to a wider audience through new ways of supporting people in planning together "international development awareness-raising activities" (called One World Week Ubuntu events).
The word "Ubuntu", an old African word which acknowledges the oneness of humanity, has been chosen by One World Week to convey the value of people working together co-operatively, with mutual respect, across barriers of creed and culture, to explore the relevance of global issues and interdependence in their everyday lives.
