Rica, India, North America, The Philippines, Romania, Sri Lanka, South

each of its international locations, the common thread that runs through
all its programs is to give every child an equal opportunity in this
world. WCF aims to create a better and sustainable future for

holistic form and not just academic knowledge, thereby equipping
children and youth with real-life skills.
