Our Impact

We’ve worked on improving the lives of thousands of young people through direct mentoring..

Young people from different backgrounds have a huge impact on us and all our activities. They highlight those parts of the society that are broken, so we can help them in all possible ways to regain hope and flourish in life.

Aim, Focus & Engage

The aim of WEJF is to create educational programs that will aid students in maximizing their potential and finding their true purpose and goals, leading to a fulfilling future. The focus of these programs will be on both physical and mental health, ranging from kindergarten to college students and communities. WEJF will engage in programs and services that will emphasize self-esteem building, prevention of sexual abuse and human trafficking, and education to empower students and communities toward a brighter future.
