One World Action


One World Action was a charity based in London whose aims were a world free from poverty and oppression, where strong democracies safeguard people's rights.
One World Action supported partner organizations in Asia, Africa and Central America, whose work are founded on the principles of democracy. Many supported projects tackle gender inequality.
All its programmes are initiated by local people, providing understanding and meeting of local needs.
Formerly named the Bernt Carlsson Trust, One World Action was founded by Glenys Kinnock on December 21, 1989 - exactly one year after UN Commissioner for Namibia, Bernt Carlsson, was killed in the Pan Am Flight 103 crash.
The charity was affiliated with Solidar.
It was removed from the register of charities on 2 October 2012 on the grounds that it had ceased to exist.
