About Mission 1 World
"No act of kindness,
no matter how small,
is ever wasted."
Jules Pharoh
Every religion that came into this world emphasized the importance of charity and promoted the activity of giving to the less fortunate. At Mission 1 World we have taken the task of which initially started as a hope of mending the differences amongst mentalities and filling up the gulf between borders. No matter the colour of skin, the religion one follows or what country one originated from - the mutual feelings we share and the colour of blood is the same within all. We will strive to bring awareness amongst people in hopes of them realizing that helping a fellow man results in the best rewards in this life and the next.
Mission 1 World (M1W) started off as a non-profit organization founded in 2013 by our late and dear visionary, Jules Pharoh. His philosophy was this: by virtue of bringing people together to help one another, it would remind those to be compassionate, empathetic and loving, in our everyday lives. In a complicated and fast-paced world, it was both a grounding reminder and a discipline to simply be human.
Since 2013, the M1W Team grew to multiple chapters around the world and officially became a registered charitable organization in 2019. Our M1W family of friends are actively involved through volunteer work, donations, sponsorships, humanitarian efforts, partnerships and collaborations whilst leveraging social media to bring a spotlight to both the dire situations we've been made aware of, and to our various initiatives to address them directly.
M1W has aided those in need with food, educational supplies, clothing, living essentials and medical supplies; some of which include providing wheelchairs to victims of land mines from the war in Afghanistan, to setting up clean drinking water wells for rural villages in Pakistan.
You can make a difference by acting today!
It doesn’t have to be a large monetary contribution. Start small and help the next person you see. Be kind. Spread the positivity with those around you. Find ways to help others and act on it.

Who We Help
We have all been raised with borders. We have not only placed borders on a map but also in our hearts. However looking at the world from a distance, one can only see it as a whole. Helping people around the world has taught us that we all smile in the same language. Mission 1 World helps communities and those in need around the world. We have joined hands with various organizations including orphanages, senior homes and youth communities. We've provided food, financial support, school supplies, medical supplies and basic living essentials.
