WDAS Helps Raise $690,000 For Socially Innovative Projects That Permanently Improve The Living Conditions Of Those Most In Need

NEW YORK, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- World Assurance Group, Inc. (www.worldassurancegroup.com) (OTC Pink: WDAS) today announces that, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility program, it has partnered with The World for People Foundation to leverage its technology and brands and has assisted in raising pledges of $690,000 to fund socially innovative projects that permanently improve the lives of people most in need.

WDAS has agreed to make its brands and technologies, including its existing wallet and money transfer technologies, available to The World for People Foundation ("WFP") on an ongoing basis at zero license fees, so long as more than 90% of the funds raised by WFP go to supporting Foundation projects.

WFP, based at Royal Exchange, London, England provides commercial and technological supports to socially innovative and life changing projects for the recipients.  The Foundation is initially targeting water creation projects and is then planning to also explore green energy and projects in microfinance where it can leverage WDAS resources.

The World for People Foundation was presented for the first time to delegates at the WOR(l)D Global Network convention in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and at the Gala Dinner on April 3, where $690,000 was pledged by the top WOR(l)D distributors.  More details can be found on www.worldforpeople.org  

Mr. Fabio Galdi, CEO of WDAS, who hosted the Gala Dinner, said, "We are pleased to support such a worthy cause that we have been involved with for some time and we welcome the opportunity to use our brands and technologies to assist those in greatest need."

Roberto Race, Director, WFP, said, "I am delighted with WDAS' generous contribution which will help us deliver on our goals.  We look forward to continued strong partnership with WDAS. This WDAS support and money pledged will enable the Foundation to start its call for projects and begin to make life changing differences to the people associated with the projects that we support around the world."
