Our Mission

resources for your community's needs

To provide professional development opportunities, training and courses for educators, mentors and coaches within a learning community.

We provide these resources and opportunities to help YOU make an impact on those around you to make for a more prosperous community.

Communities grow when individuals do

Imran Nanlawala, the founder of The Walaway Foundation, has been a lifelong educator. Through his years of experience across the globe, he saw that many communities lack the resources they need to thrive. He noticed that many members of these communities were passionate about making a difference but sometimes didn’t have access to the expertise they would need to reach their full potential. Thus, The Walaway Foundation was created. 

We believe that every community deserves great individuals – individuals who lead, uphold and support those around them. The Walaway Foundation’s goal is to provide the resources these individuals need to grow. When a community’s members develop greater knowledge and skills, the community’s success follows.
