Our Initiatives
At WDI, we are committed to driving transformative change in education through a range of impactful initiatives. Our work centers on integrating cutting-edge technologies into classrooms, funding research that explores the broader social and educational impacts of innovation, and supporting the development of educators worldwide. By partnering with schools, we provide essential tools like VR, AR, and computers to enhance learning and vocational training, ensuring students in underserved regions gain access to modern education.
​
Additionally, we invest in research projects that examine how technology and education intersect to improve communities, from offering free Wi-Fi to exploring the socioeconomic benefits of digital learning tools. Our educator-focused programs provide scholarships, resources, and training to future teachers, empowering them to inspire the next generation of learners.
​
Through these combined efforts, WDI is working to bridge educational gaps, foster innovation, and create lasting opportunities for students and educators alike, helping to shape a brighter, more accessible future for education globally.
Technology-Based Initiatives
At WDI, we believe in the power of technology to transform education, particularly in developing regions. Our technology-based initiatives focus on incorporating the latest tools and innovations to advance education in communities that need it most. We work directly with schools, providing them with cutting-edge technologies like computers, VR, AR, and drones. These tools enable schools to create tech-driven curricula that not only spark students’ academic curiosity but also equip them with the skills necessary to compete on a global stage. By fostering a technologically advanced learning environment, we help students explore new possibilities, deepen their knowledge, and pursue future-ready careers.
Research-Based Initiatives
WDI is committed to supporting research that seeks to improve lives through education. Over the years, we’ve funded more than 200 research projects that explore the intersection of technology, education, and society. These projects have ranged from providing free Wi-Fi to underserved communities to examining the socioeconomic impacts of donating laptops to schools. Our research efforts go beyond the classroom—focusing not only on pedagogical outcomes but also on the broader implications for society. Through this research, we aim to generate meaningful insights that can drive policy changes and create a more equitable, informed world.
Education-Based Initiatives
We understand that teachers and educators are key to advancing our mission. That’s why WDI funds and supports educators from all walks of life through various global channels and liaisons. Our education-based initiatives focus on empowering future teachers by supporting their academic journeys from K-12 through higher education. We invest in their professional development, providing training and resources to help them become effective educators in a rapidly evolving world. Whether it’s through scholarships, grants, or direct partnerships, WDI is committed to nurturing the next generation of educators who will inspire and lead students for years to come.
