What Share The World's Resources does

Share The World's Resources (STWR) is a London-based, not-for-profit civil society organisation founded in 2003 by Mohammed Sofiane Mesbahi and registered in England (no. 4854864). It campaigns for the implementation of Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, advocating that governments guarantee adequate living standards including food, housing, healthcare, and social security for all. The organisation targets two primary segments: the general public and civil society interested in global justice and ecological sustainability, and policymakers whose political will it seeks to influence through evidence-based advocacy. Its work is disseminated through a website (sharing.org) available in six languages (English, Japanese, German, Italian, Spanish, Slovenian), supplemented by newsletter subscriptions, social sharing, conferences, and direct campaign engagement.

The organisation's product portfolio centres on a catalogue of advocacy publications and books, anchored by the flagship title 'Heralding Article 25: A People's Strategy for World Transformation' and the ongoing 'Studies on the Principle of Sharing' series authored by the founder, which examines the principle of sharing from spiritual, psychological, social, economic, and political perspectives. Additional products include 'The Commons of Humanity', 'Sharing as Our Common Cause', 'The Intersection of Politics and Spirituality in Addressing the Climate Crisis', analytical articles such as 'Commercialisation: The Antithesis of Sharing', free audiobooks voiced by co-workers, the 'Global Call for Sharing' petition, and 'Article 25 Campaign' materials (billboard campaigns, postcards, demonstration guides). Printed editions are sold via an online bookstore; all digital content is freely accessible. There is no proprietary technology, software, or AI component — the platform is a standard content-publishing website.

STWR is funded entirely through private donations from individuals and is explicitly unaffiliated with any government, political party, ideology, or corporate enterprise. The core team comprises seven staff (the founder plus six co-workers) supported by three external consultants covering IT/website (Dave Gray, Insite Connections), accountancy (Simon Erskine, FCA FCIE DChA), and law/governance (Bates Wells Braithwaite). It was granted Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in August 2009, providing official standing in international forums. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on content, conferences, demonstrations, and network effects rather than commercial sales motions.

Broad incumbents

• Christian Aid: UK-based international development NGO tackling poverty and injustice through policy and partnerships - comparable donor-funded advocacy model and geographic focus on the Global South.
• Amnesty International: Global human rights organization with UN consultative status and research-driven advocacy - comparable institutional standing and rights-based advocacy approach, but operating at much larger scale.
• Oxfam International: Massive global confederation fighting inequality and poverty across more than 80 countries - comparable thematic focus on global resource justice but operates at vastly larger scale and institutional footprint.

Direct peers

• War on Want: UK-based anti-poverty NGO that campaigns against the root causes of global poverty and supports workers' rights - a close analogue in size, London-based operations, and donor-funded advocacy model.
• Global Justice Now: UK-based campaigning NGO that challenges corporate power and advocates for global economic justice - directly comparable to STWR's mission on resource sharing, poverty, and Article 25-style socioeconomic rights advocacy.
• World Federalist Movement: International civil society organization advocating for global governance reform and stronger international institutions - parallels STWR's internationalist, UN-engaged approach to Article 25 implementation.
• Tax Justice Network: UK-headquartered independent network focused on tax havens, illicit financial flows, and economic inequality - overlaps with STWR's framing of resource sharing and socioeconomic rights.
• openDemocracy: UK-based reader-funded investigative journalism platform covering global justice, climate, and human rights - closely comparable business model (free online publishing, donor-funded, multilingual, advocacy-oriented).
• Jubilee (formerly Jubilee Debt Campaign): UK-based charity campaigning for debt relief and economic justice for the world's poorest countries - comparable London-based advocacy NGO with a grassroots + policy hybrid model.

Others
