For over 40 years the Twinnage Scheme has enabled the Society of St Vincent de Paul in developing countries to thrive and grow, strengthened by the spiritual, financial and moral support the members have received. What is a very small sum of money for a Conference in England & Wales can make a vast difference in a poor country, where a poor person may earn about 20 pence per day (if they are fortunate); just enough for one day’s food.
Whilst the major part of Twinnage in terms of Conference to Conference Twinning is currently with India, the links with Grenada, Guyana, Romania and Sudan are also strong. Each of these countries has its own unique problems and the Twinnage scheme is tailored to each so that we can offer the best help within the resources available. The Society in each country shares the same Spirit that guides us in our work for the poor and each country benefits from the encouragement that Twinnage offers.
This web-site is owned and administered by the Twinnage organisers of the Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP) for England and Wales. It is designed to provide a vehicle for sharing information relating to Twinnage, giving background information along with details of the latest achievements and needs supporting our brothers and sisters in the developing world.
