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 quality education that empowers them to break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter, more prosperous future for themselves and their communities.
Our Mission
We invest in the potential of children and youth across underserved communities in Central and South Asia through early development programs, English language learning, and scholarships that open doors to opportunity and empower them to uplift their lives and communities.
Our Belief
We believe 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, because education unlocks human potential and creates 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 orphanages, hostels, and schools. A trip to Asia in 2004 brought them face-to-face with urgent institutional needs, leading them to commit to deeper engagement and to do more.
2
The Connie and Kamal Daya Gift Fund of The Dallas Foundation invited others who shared their vision to participate in initiatives designed to benefit underserved children and youth, expanding collective support and strengthening long-term impact.
3
WEF officially began in 2009 with a generous donation from the Connie & Kamal Daya Gift Fund of The Dallas Foundation, establishing a structured foundation to advance its mission and broaden support for children and youth.
4
Over the years, the organization has supported the poorest communities, and more than 20,000 children and youth have benefited from various WEF projects, reflecting sustained commitment and measurable impact across underserved regions.
