MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to Make Poverty History, but bottom-up: we will
- use the internet to link up rich and poor communities across the world via a Worldwide Connectory.
- provide almost half the world's population with new virtual neighbours every five years.
- create grassroots outreach on a global scale.
We believe that by sharing out the world, we can bring it much closer together.

Help required in compiling the nonprofitslist & the rest of this Worldwide Connectory Manual
The nonprofitslist aims to say exactly where non profits are working
- Please add your favourite organisations to the nonprofitslist. Many international development non-profits (or charities) are local to individual List B countries, although they may be doing invaluable work in a number of List A countries around the world. Usually they operate in partnership with CBOs (Community Based Organisations) in these List A countries. Our nonprofitslist should ideally contain as many of these non profits and CBOs as possible, cross-indexed so they can be located:
- by organisation (alphabetically)
- by country
- by partner area
- Please edit the nonprofitslist to cross-reference organisations, countries & places
Help with translations of WCP information
Many WWC Documents need to be translated
- Please offer help with translations

Pilot Partnerships
The first pilot partnership is between Area 2227 (parts of Kampala, Uganda) and Area 8192 (parts of Houston, Texas)
