WSA is an organisation that has built its reputation on substantial expertise, experience and knowledge in the fields of community development, social inclusion, participation and empowerment.
We actively engage with different communities to make a positive difference, putting them at the heart of their own development. We work by empowering communities; joining the dots to share learning between the projects we work on, bringing our own learning, knowledge and experience. We want to make a constructive change and believe we have to take everyone with us to do that and so make a point of being inclusive and accessible, supporting all to participate.
