WELCOME TO THE WHA

Founded by Webster University students and faculty, the Webster Humanitarian Association (WHA) is based on the Geneva campus in Switzerland. The WHA organises regular events and campaigns designed to raise the campus community's awareness of human rights issues. In partnership with local Bosnian NGO's and universities, the WHA cooperates on a number of projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through these partnerships student members have the unique opportunity to engage in supervised research. They also contribute to the on-going development of community-based projects which promote education, reconciliation and sustainable development in towns such as Srebrenica.

The WHA relies on the generous donations of its supporters and friends. If you would like to know more about how you can contribute, please browse the website or contact us at the address below.

 Students of Dr Joe Pirri's class on Narrative Film and Human Rights and members of the WHA, along with other students, staff and alumni of Webster University, participated in the third annual five-day study field trip in June 2010 to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
