Overview

Mission

World family foundation (wff) manages sponsorships for impoverished, marginalized girls and boys in the residential program at prashanti school, puri, india. We raise funds to support their living expenses, educatonal tution, daily tutoring, medical/dental/vision care clothing.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, wff provided full support for 23 children ages 7 - 18 living at the prashanti school hostel with 100% scholarship for food, housing, medical & dental care, clothing, school fees, school uniforms & books, and daily after-school tutoring. This funding also paid for24-hour caregiving and other support staff for the residential students, site maintenance costs, tutor salaries, cultural ac.vi.es andtraining forthestudents, and holiday and birthday gifts for the children.. Wff also provided full sponsorship for 7 prashanti school graduates pursuing university studies, post-grad studies, nursing training, teaching internships, teacher certification studies & exams, and NGO administration training. Wff funded the renovation of the girls and boys dorms at the prashanti school hostel. This included renovating the restrooms, washroom, and complete painting inside and outside. The kitchen for the hostel was renovated, and a new outdoor kitchen was built. Wff completed the construction of a residential living program for older boys in upper high school and junior college level at the pis campus. This allows the girls and younger boys to have more living space at the prashanti school hostel campus. Wff funded the fabrication and installation of 6 marble plaques with inspirational sayings on them for the entrances of the new rooms on the top floor of the pis building, to encourage and inspire the students. New teachers were welcomed to the staff of pis and the hostel, including several prashanti alumni who have returned to the school to teach and help raise the children. Having prashanti alumni return after completing university and higher studies to teach at pis and work in the administration of the school has always been the dream of wff board members. That dream is being realized.
