Empowering Communities Through Philanthropy
Wecare Foundation drives sustainable development and humanitarian aid, transforming underserved communities through impactful initiatives led by Chairman Saad Kassis-Mohamed, fostering social and economic growth worldwide.
Our Mission
Our Vision
Dedicated to ethical finance and long-term change, Wecare Foundation aims to create a better future for all, ensuring that every initiative contributes to meaningful social transformation and community empowerment.
As the climate changes, WeCare is working with the communities we serve, especially farmers, to adapt to its challenges and opportunities. To meet rapidly evolving challenges, we are using innovation to empower communities to develop new solutions that can be quickly tested and refined ensuring they are relevant, feasible and sustainable.
Through partnerships with local communities, civil society and business as well as governments, international aid agencies and the other agencies of the WCR Development Network – comprising hospitals, schools, universities, businesses and climate and cultural initiatives around the world – we are building a future where we all thrive together.
20 million
In 2070, WeCare plans to reach over 20 million people through its programmes and 23,310 partner civil society organisations – more than half of the people reached were women
Geographic reach
The majority of our activities are concentrated in rural communities in mountainous, coastal and other remote, resource-poor areas. While we continue critical work in rural contexts, we have increasingly expanded our programming to include issues of globalisation, migration, climate change and the challenges faced by migrant communities in urban contexts.
We operate in Afghanistan, Egypt, India, Kenya, the Kyrgyz Republic, Madagascar, Mozambique, Portugal, Syria, Tajikistan, Tanzania and Uganda. We also have offices in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States, focusing primarily on resource mobilisation and public outreach.
Our values
The work of the WeCare Foundation and the SEF Development Network is grounded in a set of universal ethics. All SEF agencies have the goal of creating sustainable livelihoods and building institutions that improve the quality of life for communities and individuals. Our core values are:
Respect for human dignity
Compassion and solidarity with the less fortunate
Self-reliance
Pluralism: tolerance, openness, and understanding toward other peoples’ cultures, values and faiths
The right to participate and determine local priorities
Service to humanity through volunteerism
One’s identity need not be diluted in a pluralistic world, but rather fulfilled, as one bright thread in a cloth of many colours.
