Twinnage and Overseas Aid

  4. Twinnage and Overseas Aid

Twinnage is the way in which SVP groups in developed countries provide support to SVP groups in developing countries. SVP England and Wales is currently 'twinned' with local groups in India, Sudan, South Sudan, Grenada, Guyana and Romania. 

I would like to embrace the world in a network of charity.

-Blessed Frédéric Ozanam

 

What does Twinnage involve?

Prayer

It is important that the members of the twin Conference, and those they work to support, are prayed for regularly. This will include prayers at every Conference meeting, but can include other prayers and most especially having a Mass offered for the twin Conference.


Correspondence

Where possible it is important to exchange letters or e-mails at least twice a year to maintain contact, share information and learn. Messages are shared with all members of the Conference so that every member is involved and feels part of the world-wide Vincentian family.


Financial support

Twinning generally requires a regular commitment to send financial support to help the regular activities of the twin, specifically the support of the adopted families of the twinned Conference. This helps to ensure that vital funding reaches the poorest communities in countries where the SVP exists.

Learn more on the Twinnage and Overseas Aid website or download the Twinnage General Information leaflet.
