Every day, individuals and families go without essential healthcare because they cannot afford it. Your donation helps us change that reality by expanding access to primary care, mental health services, health education, and future hospital-based care.
Your donation supports the construction of WAFA Hospital, free primary care and mental health services, health education and community outreach, and essential medical supplies and program development.
WAFA Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible as permitted by law. Our team currently serves on a volunteer basis, allowing donations to go directly toward programs and project development.
Together, we can provide essential healthcare and create lasting impact.
Wafa is an Urdu word that means sincerity and the fulfillment of a promise, representing steadiness in love, trust, and commitment. Our organization is named WAFA (Waris and Friends Association) to reflect this promise — our unwavering commitment to expanding access to holistic healthcare, advancing health equity, and providing critical services to underserved communities.
You can make a donation directly through our website using a credit or debit card, Apple Pay, PayPal, or by linking a bank account. We also accept donations by check.
Please note that credit card donations typically incur a processing fee of approximately 2–3%. If you’d like to maximize the impact of your contribution, donating via bank transfer or check helps reduce processing costs and ensures more of your gift goes directly towards our programs.Â
