Our History

On 16th January 2002, Sir Alex Paterson, a Scottish humanitarian and missionary, had a profound realization – he wanted to live a life of charity and make a difference in the world. He felt a calling to serve and help people, especially those in troubled countries who were suffering.

Driven by his passion and love for God and humanity, he founded HIMS INTERNATIONAL WCF. With a keen eye on Sierra Leone in West Africa, he set out to meet the needs of the most vulnerable and put smiles on their faces by providing quality food, clothing, medical care, schools, shelter, and the undiluted word of God.

Starting with just a miraculous donation of 100 GBP from an unexpected source (his nephew), Sir Alex Paterson built HIMS from nothing. That single donation opened the doors for more donations, both in cash and kind.

Since 2002, HIMS International has continued to evolve and grow, standing out as a leading light in the fight against poverty and inequality. We have touched countless lives, both spiritually and materially, providing hope and inspiration to those who need it most.

Our founder’s story is a testament to the power of determination, passion, and love. He showed that anyone, regardless of their background, can make a difference in the world if they are willing to take that first step towards creating change.

At HIMS International, we are inspired by his example and driven by a sense of purpose to continue his legacy. Join us on this journey of love and service, and let us work together to create a brighter future for those in need.
