About Us
Who We Are
The Wang & Tangang Foundation is an international, youth-led nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing sustainable development, global citizenship, and community-driven solutions across the Global South.
We work at the intersection of humanitarian action, youth empowerment, peacebuilding, and advocacy, delivering programs that respond to real needs while aligning with global development frameworks.
