About Us
Our Story
“As a Venture Philanthropic Organisation, we believe in the power of innovation to drive positive change. Our organisation supports and scales projects that help underserved communities thrive.
Through in-house project creation and partnership with social entrepreneurs and community organizations, we work to solve challenges faced by underserved communities.”
- We started The WEIDI Foundation with one simple but bold belief: that where you come from should never define how far you can go. In communities across the globe, there are bright minds, powerful ideas, and untapped potential just waiting for the right support. That’s where we come in.
- Our model blends the heart of philanthropy with the strategy of venture-building. We don’t just donate—we co-create. We invest time, resources, and mentorship into ideas that matter, and people who are ready to change their world.
- Whether it’s launching an education program, supporting a community-led tech startup, or partnering on a health equity initiative—we’re there, side by side with local leaders, ensuring impact is not only achieved but sustained.
Our Values
At The WEIDI Foundation, we believe in making change happen through three core values: Collaboration, Compassion, and Creativity. These guide everything we do.
Collaboration
We believe in the power of working together.
By bringing people, organizations, and communities together, we create stronger solutions and greater impact.
- Why it matters: No one can do it alone. We value teamwork and collective action to solve complex problems.
- How we work: We build partnerships that are open, honest, and goal-oriented.
Additional Insight:
We’ve learned that the most powerful solutions are born at the intersection of lived experience and shared vision. That’s why we build ecosystems, not silos. From grassroots organizations to global impact partners—we collaborate with changemakers across every level to drive deeper, more inclusive outcomes.
Compassion
Compassion drives us to listen, understand, and act with empathy.
We put people at the heart of everything we do.
- Why it matters: Real change starts with care. We respect and support the people we serve.
- How we work: We make decisions based on the needs and voices of those we help.
Additional Insight:
We lead with listening. Before we act, we learn—from the stories, struggles, and strengths of those we serve. Compassion for us isn’t passive—it’s active. It means showing up consistently, honoring dignity, and never losing sight of the humanity behind the mission.
Creativity
Creativity helps us find new ways to solve problems.
We embrace innovation to create lasting change.
- Why it matters: Challenges need fresh thinking. We look for creative, sustainable solutions.
- How we work:We experiment, learn, and adapt to drive better results.
Additional Insight:
At The WEIDI Foundation, we treat every challenge as an opportunity to rethink what’s possible. We’re not afraid to test bold ideas, pilot unconventional models, or pivot when needed. Creativity empowers us to respond to evolving needs—and unlock new paths to progress.
Why These Values Matter
When we work together with empathy and fresh ideas, we can build solutions that make a real difference. These values guide everything we do, and we invite you to be part of this change.
They’re not just words—they’re woven into every partnership, every decision, every community we serve. These values fuel our courage to act boldly, our humility to learn continuously, and our commitment to driving measurable, people-centered change.
