1)  As a Group we come into direct contact with people in a 'depressed' area at least once a week. We organise games, crafts and other "educational" and recreational activities for children in the area. We also visit their families and other marginalised people regularly.
2)  The Group also does maintenance work and general house chores for people in other localities who cannot cope alone.
3)  This, however, is not a social work organisation. The Group is inspired by Christian values; our role is not solving problems but being with the people. In Christ we see the perfect example of true human solidarity. Our Christian roots inspires us to work with and learn from people of all nations, religions and ways of life.
4)  Our relationship with the people we are committed to is a relationship of friendship, nothing more and, we hope, nothing less.

5)  Another aspect of the Third World Group's commitment towards the so-called "lesser" members of society in general is conscientization: We try to make people aware of the hardships people face in poorer regions of the world and even in modern day, prosperous Malta, by writing in the press and giving people who are not members of the Group the opportunity to do voluntary work in communities (rather than work groups) in Malta and abroad. This has nothing to do with being charitable; we feel that we all have a lot to give to and learn from each other.

6)  In recent years we have made our commitment towards people in so-called "underdeveloped" countries more concrete by creating Koperattiva Kummerc Gust, a Fair Trade Cooperative run by volunteers that buys products directly from producers in the South of the World and from established international organisations that market fair trade products and encourage others to do likewise.

7)  The most important national event organized by the Third World Group was an African Week at the University of Malta in March 1999, with the participation of Prof. Charles Villa-Vicencio from the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission; renowned percussionist and music animator Moussé Ndiaye from Senegal, and Somali refugees to mention just a few of the African protagonists of this memorable week. Hundreds of people, from school children and children living in 'depressed' areas to university students and adults were involved in this packed, week-long programme of cultural, educational, artistic, and entertainment events.
