It is known that apart of developing its network within the country, PPWI under the leadership of its General Chairperson Wilson Lalengke has also expanded its network to more than 20 countries abroad.

In the near future, PPWI will also build cooperative relations with the MAPIM Organization (Majlis Perundingan Perbangunan Islam Malaysia) in Malaysia.
The main aim of this movement is that this civil society network based on citizen journalism at the international level will become one of the driving forces in fostering humanitarian awareness among world citizens to support each other, give to each other, love each other and empower each other.
