Warakamb Development Foundation (WDF) was formed by professionals and the ordinary people from the Warakamb Valley. Due to the remoteness of the area and the numerous social problems including health, education and almost no economic activity and so on, this foundation was formed to address these issues.
Humble beginnings
The idea was conceived almost two decades ago in the 1990s. A few of the educated guys while returning home for holidays saw that the area was so remote, social indicators were poor and economic activity was non existent. Something needs to be done, they said, so they conceived the idea of forming a group aimed at tackling the issues.
WDF is a Non Government Organisation (NGO)
WDF is not politically aligned with any political parties, nor does it endorse politicians or aspiring ones. WDF is non political and non government. WDF will work with any NGOs, church groups, politicians and Not for profit groups.
WDF is Not for profit
Warakamb Development Foundation is a not for profit non government organisation. The Warakamb valley due to its location has many issues including health, law and order, illiteracy, witchcraft and so on. This Foundation aims to raise a voice and highlight the issues and seek assistance from anybody who can help - from donor groups, NGOs, individuals, government agencies and so on. If you would like to help, you can contact us at WDFoundation@hotmail.com
WDF Promotes Self Help
Most of our activity will be self help projects, including health awareness and prevention talks, self help manual projects, coaching school kids etc.
WDF has the means, skills and expertise to advice village councillors, and other leaders in areas of socio economic development, law and order and other poverty reduction programs. The students and professionals from the area meet regularly to discuss and brainstorm ideas affecting the valley.
