The London-based World for People Foundation has opened its first call for funding
applications as it seeks to fund social innovation projects that will permanently
improve the living conditions of those most in need.

At first, the Foundation will focus on water production projects, and specifically
those that involved the most technologically advanced solutions. Its first project
will be related to the production of water from air.

However, the Foundation will consider funding other projects that enable sustainable
community development.

## Funding and implementation partners

As well as inviting funding applications, the World For People Foundation Ltd is
also seeking project partners to help ensure effective implementation.

## How is the Foundation funded?

The World For People Foundation Ltd has three corporate sponsors that, together 
with their distributors and partners, provide the technology and funding for the
Foundation to operate:

 * [WOR(l)D Global Group, ](http://www.worldglobalgroup.com)Inc. will supply technology
   under license, that enables WFP to operate its projects.
 * [WOR(l)D Global Network Pte](http://www.worldgn.com). Ltd. whose distributors
   have provided the initial funding for the Foundation and for the first projects
   selected.
 * [Power Clouds Pte](http://www.powerclouds.com), a renewable energy business with
   a mission to create the largest network of photovoltaic systems in the world

It does not engage in or authorise other independent fundraising campaigns.

Roberto Race, Director of WFP, said:

> “We are seeking to support Water projects that are community based, to ensure 
> successful implementation of the water project”.

He added that water has been chosen as the theme because, according to a recent 
World Health Organisation and UNICEF study released in early 2013, over one third
of the world’s population lack improved sanitation facilities, and 768 million people
still use unsafe drinking water sources.

[Project proposals can now be submitted online to WFP](http://www.worldforpeople.org/propose-your-project).
