WHAT
INSPIRES
THEM.

In my work with the Wichana Foundation,  I am inspired and energized by the leadership and commitment of the local leaders of our partner projects.  In addition to the more immediate deliverables of our projects, we are building community leadership capacity that makes our Foundation’s work sustainable.

OUR

The Wichana Foundation has two channels for our work.  The first is our support of our Partner organizations.  Our support can include fundraising and administration of donations, technical advice, training and support, and project collaboration.  The second channel is our direct initiatives that we directly organize and administer.
