Austria

In the year 2019, Wafaa is celebrating 10 years of its existence and work in Austria. We are very proud to have established valuable and important relations with some of Austria’s most important organizations and NGO’s, such as Red Cross, Fem Süd, Volkshilfe, Peregrina and Caritas. In the following, you will see some photos created during many of the most important events in the previous years. Workshops and happenings organized with and by these organizations and Wafaa showcase some of our projects and cooperations. The support we have received by the Austrian NGOs has given us an enormous impetus and motivation to continue working together, and deepen and strengthen our cooperation.
