EWEF targets Underprivileged Youths or poor talented Adults from third World Nations and are brought to North America to obtain education and training in specialized skilled trades. Africa is currently the target for this Sponsorship Year; different regions are chosen from year to year. As part of their training, they are immersed in North American industrial culture and work ethics through dedicated and on-going “Work Immersion Program".

They are then deployed to provide the newly acquired skill or service to their community and teach other students in surrounding Regions.

EWEF Philosophical base: "Give a hungry man a fish and he will eat and soon get hungry again. But, teach him to fish; he is able to feed himself always, thereby alleviating his burden and dependence on others." - Edwin O. Woghiren - (EWEF).

From one of several Press releases; here's a Quote by EWEF Founder: ..."The technological infrastructure amenities that a healthy society must have in order to maintain its basic life-sustaining functions in a modern community is virtually non-existent in most of the suffering third Worlds, in this case; Africa! Lack of these Infrastructures and necessary 'skilled trade' personals to repair them has directly added to the burden of the daily survival these citizens. Moreover, it continues to perpetuate their never-ending reliance on hand-outs and outside aid. These handouts have fueled and bred absolute dependency, apathy and low self-esteem. This can be stopped now with your help. EWEF is leading the way to Africa's self-reliance through education and training in the essential skilled trades to change this dilemma. For EWEF, this is a long-term solution approach; that will rebuild core technological infrastructure Amenities in health care, Medicine, food distribution, water system, Schools, Clean Energy, Sanitation, agriculture, environmental conservation, road repairs, transportation system, Hydro-electricity, housing construction, Telecommunication and all the related electronic and mechanical or technological facilities necessary to maintain them. This is crucial to life in our modern world today. EWEF is dedicated to this endeavor. Please join us and be part of this solution!!
