We support work across four areas: international grant-making to trusted partners, UK-based wellness programmes, art-and-fundraising events, and our dance classes and volunteer trips.
We channel UK-raised funds to two carefully chosen NGOs with deep operational expertise in their regions. Programmes include educational support, basic healthcare materials, cultural programmes, and welfare initiatives.
One of the longest-standing Italian humanitarian organisations operating in sub-Saharan Africa, CUAMM provides healthcare, nutrition, and child welfare services across some of the most under-resourced regions of Mozambique.
Our partnership funds frontline activities benefiting children and mothers in Beira — maternal and child health, paediatric care, and community wellbeing — and our largest appeal to date has supported a new ambulance for communities in Cabo Delgado.
A long-established Bulgarian organisation working with vulnerable children, including those with special needs. Their work includes educational programmes, cultural activities, and welfare support.
Our partnership provides resources for educational materials, support for children with special needs, basic hygiene facilities, and community cultural activities — areas where modest funding produces meaningful, measurable change.
Through Anandjira, the youth-led association we met in Beira, our support funded mental-health outreach across the city's health centres between July and September 2026. The numbers below are theirs — our role was to make sure the work could happen.
Young people reached through mental-health awareness activities across six health centres in Beira City, run by the youth-led association Anandjira with CWF's support.
Adolescents screened for psychosocial distress and, where needed, referred on for further care — young people who would otherwise have gone unseen.
Phone calls made to remind adolescents of their appointments. Keeping young people in mental-health treatment is one of the hardest things to do in the field — this is what made it possible.
Follow-up is where most youth mental-health programmes fall apart. That it held here is the difference between a student who volunteers and a young person who builds something that lasts.
Our founder plans and teaches volunteer dance classes for groups of up to 15 children — sessions built around exploring cultural dances from around the world.
Every class takes a dance rooted in another country's traditions and teaches it properly: the steps, the music, and the place and people it comes from. Children leave having learned something about the world through their bodies rather than a textbook — and the classes also raise funds and awareness for CWF's partner programmes. It is the project closest to what CWF is for: children learning that the world is bigger than their own neighbourhood, and that other cultures are something to step into, not look at.
In May 2026 our founder organised a field trip that brought a group of five volunteers from London to Mozambique, to work alongside the Kuplumussana women's association and our partners in Beira.
Rather than sending money and waiting, CWF takes people to the work: the group spent their days on the wards of Beira Central Hospital and with the youth and women's associations whose programmes CWF supports. Organising the trip — the partners, the logistics, the group itself — is now a programme in its own right, and the model for the trips we want to run next.

Grants become staff, supplies, and care for the children who need it most.
While our grant-making serves children abroad, we also run programmes in the United Kingdom that combine fundraising, awareness, and direct community engagement.
Wellness support programmes for care homes — sessions designed to bring connection, creative expression, and dignified engagement to elderly residents, while raising awareness for our broader mission.
Events that combine artistic expression with fundraising and awareness — including an art auction for 200+ guests with artwork sourced and sold by our team, and a house fundraiser that raised £3,000 in one evening.
Volunteer dance classes for groups of up to 15 children, planned and taught by our founder, exploring cultural dances from around the world — spreading culture through movement while raising funds for partner programmes. Read more ↑
