About WAF

A Somali-led charity for families in need

Wabar Ahmed Foundation (WAF) — Mu'asasadda Wabar Axmed in Somali — is a Somali-led foundation focused on helping families facing hardship through fast, respectful, and accountable support.

We exist to close the gap between people who want to help and the families who need it most.
