Who we are
A grassroots organisation with global reach
WASSOR has grown from a community initiative into a multidisciplinary organisation bringing together psychology, research, technology, data, finance, training and community development.
We start with the knowledge, networks and practices already present in communities. Together, we build on them so that the work can continue and grow.
