additionalcitations date March 2011 The Action for World Solidarity organization is a German political Regional development development non government organization sponsoring projects in India , Africa and Brazil . Founded in 1957, it is one of the oldest political development organizations in Germany. Background The Action for World Solidarity AWS has its roots in the 1957 Aufruf f r die Hungernden Appeal for the Hungry , initiated by Lothar Kreyssig and signed by important public figures in Germany, such as Heinrich Albertz , Willy Brandt , Heinz Galinski , Kurt Scharf and Otto Suhr . It called for people in postwar Germany to give up one meal a week and donate the money saved to feed the hungry in poor countries. In contrast to other organizations, since its inception, the AWS has sent no development workers or experts , rather it sponsors projects that are implemented and supported by locals. The goal of the AWS is to support disadvantaged groups financially and encourage them so they can foster their own long term, independent change in their countries. The AWS seeks to promote human rights , empower women and protect the environment in the southern hemisphere. ref http www.terravivagrants.org Home view grant makers foundations and ngos action for world solidarity Terra Viva Grants official website Description of Action for World Solidarity.
