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 are not an organisation that arrives with a model and asks communities to fit into it. We work from the inside out: recognising what already exists, formalising it, and building the infrastructure for it to sustain itself.
