Current company Centre For World Solidarity
Non-Profit Organizations · 28 employees · Founded 1992 · Secunderabad, Telangana, India
Centre for World Solidarity (CWS) emerged from ‘United Action Service for World Solidarity’ (ASW), a Berlin based charitable organization. Its India Office, initiated in 1957, was located in Gandhigram, Tamil Nadu. In 1982, the ASW India Office was shifted to Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh. In 1992, through consultation and concurrence of ASW Berlin, the ASW India team and Indian partners, ASW India was transformed into an independent Indian entity as Centre for World Solidarity (CWS), a registered Trust in Secunderabad, united Andhra Pradesh. The Trust Deed of CWS stipulates that the membership of the Board should consist of only resident Indians, a majority always being women. CWS supports and partners with grassroots NGOs, Networks and Fellows in different kinds of outreach work that fit into its programmatic focus. CWS strives to capacitate and support its partners in their development work through a transparent and accountable methodology that always keeps at centre stage the aspirations of marginalized people in India. The VISION of CWS is the “emergence of an equitable society of small communities where all those deprived of basic human rights, especially women, Dalits, Adivasis and minorities, live with dignity”. A society that is vibrant with the consciousness of both rights and duties, free from violence and committed to eco-friendly development. The Mission of CWS is to promote a rights-based, gendered, and eco-sustainable approach that will advance people-centred governance, livelihoods, and management of natural resources. This will be achieved through partnering, nurturing, and collaborating with Voluntary Organisations and other stakeholders at all levels. CWS management practice aims at ensuring efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability at all levels. CWS is an organization that first and foremost promotes Human Dignity with a special focus on equity, non-violence, secularism, and transparency.
