Dr. Wang Women and Children Foundation (DWWCF) is a non-profit non-governmental organization created and fueled by the passion of its founder Dr. Winifred Aver Wanger, who wanted to make a difference in the lives of women and children all over the world.
The Foundation hopes to reach out to as many needy and disadvantaged women and children, and help them receive medical aid, educational assistance, shelter and other resources needed to transform their lives for the better. We desire to touch hearts beginning with small, practical projects and continue building from there; thinking globally but beginning locally.
