One World Action

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One World Action is a charity based in London whose aims are a world free from poverty and oppression, where strong democracies safeguard people's rights.

One World Action supports partner organizations in Asia, Africa and Central America, whose work are founded on the principles of democracy. Many supported projects tackle gender inequality.

Formerly named the Bernt Carlsson Trust, One World Action was founded by Glenys Kinnock on December 21, 1989—exactly one year after UN Commissioner for Namibia, Bernt Carlsson, was killed in the Pan Am Flight 103 crash.

The charity is affiliated with Solidar.
