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

Our Vision

We envision a world where every child — regardless of background — has access to the education they need to break the cycle of poverty and shape a brighter, more prosperous future.

Our Mission

We invest in potential of children and youth across underserved communities in Central and South Asia. Through early childhood development programs, English language learning, and scholarships, we open doors to brighter future – empowering young learners with the skills and confidence to transform their lives and uplift their communities.

Our Belief

We believe that talent is universal, but opportunity is not. Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow and thrive — regardless of financial means, caste, religion, or gender. With the right support, education can unlock human potential and create lasting change.

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’.

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.

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.
