SOCIAL WORK: MAKING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE
CELEBRATING THE IFSW 50TH JUBILEE

You are invited to celebrate the essential contribution of social workers around the world by making a personal contribution to the 50th anniversary of the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW).

IFSW is the voice of professional social work around the world

With member organisations in 80 countries including almost with almost half a million members, we think it is time for the world to see that Social Work does indeed Make a World of Difference.

Social workers make a world of difference

for individuals and families by providing care and support to some of the most isolated and troubled people around the world. They work with people to help them find their own solutions. For as long as social work has existed, we have worked with people in poverty and those in distress. Today that challenge seems bigger than ever.

IFSW makes a world of difference

by supporting social workers around the world through our member organisations, regions, conferences and projects. Our jubilee year focus is on poverty alleviation, in particular facing up to the growing needs in slums.

You can help us make a world of difference

IFSW relies on the support of people like you who share our commitment and want to see real and lasting change for people and communities. Please read on to decide how you can become a part of that vision by supporting our work in this our Jubilee Year.
