WEF Dallas - Education for All

We aim to break the cycle of generational poverty and foster prosperity

Our Vision

To break the cycle of generational poverty and foster prosperity.

Our Mission

Provide opportunities for quality English language education, Early Childhood Development & Education, Technology Proficiency, and Educational and Vocational Scholarships for children and young adults in underserved communities throughout Central and South Asia.

Our Belief

Every child and youth, regardless of financial circumstance, caste, religion, or gender, deserves a chance to reach his or her maximum potential.

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.
