WSO believes in empowering underprivileged youths through education to break a cycle of poverty and become valued members of their communities in developing countries.
Three Guiding Principles
1. Scholarships
Scholarships are the most effective way to give underprivileged students access to higher education in developing countries.
2. Minimum Overhead Expenses
Thanks to our dedicated board members and volunteers, our overhead expenses are kept under 10 % of the revenues from selling goods and services. Every dollar donated reaches the students minus international bank transfer fees.
3. Long-term Vision
We support our students for 3-4 years until they become fully qualified. In return, they will help less fortunate people throughout their working lives and make the world a much better place in the long term.
