The Global Seafarers Welfare Organisation (GSWO) is committed to establishing and enhancing welfare centers in ports worldwide, in collaboration with its member organisations. Our mission is to foster the development of existing welfare centers and support entities that play a vital role in seafarers welfare.
GSWO partners with Missions, welfare organisations, and Christian charities to extend its impact. These collaborations facilitate a wider reach and more comprehensive support for seafarers, offering spiritual and emotional support and practical assistance.
GSWO is building a global network of care for seafarers, addressing immediate needs and working towards long-term improvements in welfare standards. We advocate for better facilities, support local initiatives, and foster international cooperation making a tangible difference in the lives of seafarers.
