HEALING COMMUNITIES THROUGH GLOBAL HEALTH & EDUCATIONLess

COWF Partnership with invincinkids

Through immersive VR technology, together with invincikids, COWF is delivering access to immersive experiences to children with, physical, emotional and psychological trauma to provide therapy through the invincikids platform, instead of traditional medicines and professionals that are not available and or hard to come by. In March 2021, COWF launched a pilot test on the Syrian border with refugee children lacking access to any form of therapy and or medicines in an effort to help with PTSD and or anxiety related disorders.

COWF'S 2030 SDG AGENDA FOCUSED ON REDUCING DISPARITIES IN GLOBAL HEALTH AND EDUCATION

No one yet knows how COVID-19 will fundamentally reshape our global society or for how long. As we’ve seen since March 2020, the ability to communicate and collaborate with peers and those communities dependent on foreign aid in multiple forms from around the world is a necessity to continue our mission.

We are reshaping our mission to address the heart of the problem by scoping and adapting to accelerate the use of transformative technologies and connectivity to share knowledge and bridge resources both in developed and underserved communities globally.
