Mission

1 Community programs - maintain community integration and cohesion in the form of regular grandma connections and events. 2 Adult literacy programs - provide adult learning classes in English, Math and Arabic as well skill training for the youth. 3 Back to school program - support K1-K12 pupils and their families in preparing for the new academic year. 4 Grocery, cash, bill payment assistance - assist eligible community members with free groceries, cash assistance for college going youths, bill payment assistance rental assistance, utilities, and many more. 5 Traditional Marriage Counselling - West African culture generally encourages families to settle disagreements and disputes using the family support system. As a result, WAWAC provides a safe and confidential outlet for spouses going through a hard time to resolve differences amicably without having to resort to the courts which often comes with very heavy financial burden, and sometimes consequences that negatively impact families
