During the past year, WN has sustained and expanded its presence in 14 countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, working simultaneously with hundreds of communities at various stages of development.
In 2025, WN added 101 new communities while graduating 71 to independence—a milestone that underscores the organization’s commitment to building self-reliance rather than dependency.
The effectiveness of this approach has earned WN recognition as a Four-Star organization by Charity Navigator, Platinum status from GuideStar, and the highest rating from Charity Watch, validating both our operational excellence and our fiduciary responsibility to donors.
