World Wide Foundation

"The inherent desire of man to do something for his less fortunate fellow transcends religious dogmas, political beliefs, and geographical barriers. To believe in rehabilitation is to believe in humanity.”

HOWARD A. RUSK, M.D., FOUNDER, WORLD REHABILITATION FUND

The World Rehabilitation Fund (WRF) was established in 1955 by the “father of rehabilitation medicine”, Dr. Howard A. Rusk. Since then, WRF has worked as a humanitarian non-profit private voluntary organization and helped serve over 4 million people with disabilities in more than 150 countries.

For more than five decades, WRF’s mission has been to focus on all aspects of rehabilitation by devoting funds to initiate, develop, and implement rehabilitation programs targeting people with disabilities.

With headquarters of WRF in New York, United States of America, today WRF is operating in five other countries: Lebanon, Mozambique, Cambodia, Sierra Leone, and Dominican Republic.
