Dear Friend of WEF,

Thank you for your ongoing support of Worldwide Education Fund of The Dallas Foundation (WEF), its mission and projects. Your generosity allows WEF to continue to provide underprivileged, disadvantaged students and youths abundant opportunities to learn, grow and excel. 

Over the past 10 years WEF has made a substantive impact on the lives of more than 5,000 children and young adults through educational and vocational training scholarships, technology enrichment programs, English language skills training and empowerment projects in India, Pakistan, Tajikistan and USA. This has  only  been possible because of the generous support of our donors, dedicated volunteers and engaged Board members.

Here is an update on WEF’s work, highlighting the various programs your contributions are supporting. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have questions, suggestions or comments.

Thank you.

 January 2019 Update

As we begin the new year, we are pleased to share exciting updates with you. During the last quarter, Worldwide Education Fund of The Dallas Foundation continued to impact the lives of children and youth. We initiated new partnerships in the four countries, successfully completed some projects, and transitioned others into the next phase. Below, you will find brief highlights showcasing the impact your contribution is making:
HUNZA & BALTISTAN SECONDARY SCHOLARSHIPS:
22.84 million children in Pakistan are not enrolled in the school and two third of them are girls. To help decrease this number and to educate more girls WEF is providing 90 girls secondary school scholarships in the underprivileged mountainous communities of Gilgit Baltistan.
PROJECT MALA:
WEF is collaborating with Project Mala in Uttar Pradesh India and supporting deserving students as they study in reputed learning programs. They are able to access quality international education and access to training in English language skills, regular health checkups and nutritional meals. Including this year’s grant, a total of 32 students will have been awarded scholarships. 
In Houston, Texas WEF is collaborating with the Partnership for the Advancement and Immersion of Refugee PAIR to engage refugee youth in educational mentoring after-school programs. Over 100 children took advantage of the program.
HEART HOUSE:
In collaboration with Heart House, WEF funded a technology grant for the organization’s after-school tutoring and technology proficiency program to support 60 refugee children in Dallas Texas.
WEF-HU MBA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM: 
After many months of hard work we are excited to announce the launch of the 2019/21 WEF- Herzing University-Atlanta Campus MBA Scholarship Program. 20 students have been selected from Pakistan, India, and Tajikistan. These scholarships are in addition to 10 fully funded scholarship that were awarded to talented students from Tajikistan and Pakistan in 2017. 3 of these students graduated in December 2018. Others will graduate in April 2019.
AMERICAN CORNER:
In partnership with the American Embassy, WEF is providing support the American Corners in Khorog for the facilitation of English language training (including TOEFL and IELTS prep) to 1000+ children, youth, and adults.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES HUB: TRAIN THE TRAINER PROGRAM: 
In Tajikistan only 43% of working age is unemployed because the country is not providing sufficient jobs. WEF desires to develop new job markets for educated unemployed youth in the area of emerging technology by generating a new services industry in Tajikistan to support industry both in country as well as for EMEA generating new job markets.
ACADEMY FOR SUPERIOR SERVICES:
To increase the induction of educated unemployed youth of remote areas of Gilgit Baltistan and Chitral residing in Islamabad WEF is supporting 26 scholarships to avail the opportunities in the civil services and be part of the most important functioning arm of the state.
