Who is Wega? 

WEGA is an NGO accredited by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of Luxembourg (formerly known as WEGA Aide Humanitaire).

It was founded in 1995 and started its activities with humanitarian actions in Eastern Europe following the sudden rise in poverty due to the collapse of social policies.

It gradually turned to development projects to improve the environment of deprived communities in Ukraine and the Philippines.

Most projects were implemented in the Philippines as the organization developed strong ties with the Filipino community in Luxembourg.

Lately, it aspires to develop programs involving academic research and the private sector.

Your participation is essential to supporting the launch of new programs.

The proceeds will be used for a new project in South India targeting vulnerable women, mostly widows, in partnership with one of the most respected NGOs in India: Assefa, a Gandhian organization that has improved the lives of millions of women over 50 years. »
