Our History
our history
Waduha Welfare Organization was founded in response to a simple but urgent question: what responsibility do we carry when we witness suffering around us? Established by Zuha Rashid at the age of 19, Waduha began as a personal commitment shaped by lived experience rather than distance. Rooted in Islamic values of mercy, dignity, and accountability, the organization grew through presence within communities listening first, acting responsibly, and building trust over time.

The organization evolved into a multi-program welfare model, including the establishment of Waduha Care Home, with a focus on child protection, education, and long-term care.
