Where can you find us?
We are actively operating in Pakistan and Tajikistan, with a focus on our ongoing projects in these regions. We successfully implemented the Global Virtual School (GVS) initiative, which grew to 30 centers across 9 countries over 5 years. Although the GVS project has concluded, it remains a significant milestone in our journey.

WEF BEGINNINGS
1
For many years, Connie and Kamal Daya provided modest financial support to various orphanages, hostels, and schools. A trip to Asia in 2004 brought them face-to-face with the urgent needs of many institutions and they pledged to get engaged and ‘do more’.
2
The Connie and Kamal Daya Gift Fund of The Dallas Foundation invited others who share their vision to participate in the initiatives designed to benefit under-served children and youth.
3
Soon, WEF started in 2009, with a generous donation from the Connie & Kamal Daya Gift Fund of The Dallas Foundation.

During the last many years the organization has been helping the poorest of the poor and over 20,000+ children and youth have benefited from different projects of WEF.
