The concept of bwf originated in 1998 when the founders started work
at the grass root level in disturbed and sensitive state of Jammu
and Kashmir (J & K). Their first hand experiences of their “Human
tragedy” know as the state of J & K made them realize that the
people of the nation often do not realize that their border areas
function as the shock – absorbers of the country and life for the
people in these areas is for from normal, full of challenges and
uncertainty. Loss of lives, violence, fear and chaos are the order
of thee day. Socio economic stagnancy, corruption and civil
administrative breakdown affect all walk of life. Scores of
thousands children have been orphaned due to violence; a million of
them have dropped out of their childhood.
With it is prime focus on geographically remote and disadvantaged
border areas ( interiors) bwf has launched it’s rehabilitation
projects in the frontier district of Kupwara and very recently in
district Budgam and Anantnag, J & K. With plans to extend the same
to the other district, bwf also intends to reach out to the North
East and to any area beyond India that calls for voluntary action.
