Right Sharing of World Resources

We are called to the right sharing of world resources, from the burdens of poverty and materialism into the abundance of love.

Not charity, but right sharing

Our Unique Model

Community Development

We train a group of women living in poverty to manage a micro-enterprise revolving loan fund. A grant establishes the group-owned fund. Microbusinesses grow and families thrive.

Power of Enough

We invite people to move from materialism toward simplicity and mutual belonging. Gratitude and generosity liberate us from the fear of scarcity.

Since 1967, Right Sharing of World Resources has embodied Quaker concern for global inequity.

“Through the Right Sharing Conversation series, I found a community where thoughtful listening and dialogue truly matter. We are given the opportunity to interact with others with common values, to swap personal stories and philosophies with others around the globe. These programs don’t just share information; they build relationships and invite reflection. They feel like Quaker testimonies made visible, lived out in community.”

I realize that this project is giving hope to many girls and women who are struggling in difficult situations in their lives.”

“We are not only taking care of ourselves; we are taking care of our whole village.”

Through partnership with Right Sharing of World Resources (RSWR), the Thisaigal Women’s Federation in rural Tamil Nadu is demonstrating how locally led women’s groups can create lasting change — not only for their members, but for entire villages. What began with just 39 women has grown in two years to…
