Our values

1Solidarity

Solidarity is at the heart of our action, embodying a cornerstone of our commitment to education accessible to all. In a world where socio-economic inequalities are creating ever deeper gaps between individuals, our project positions itself as a vector of change, striving to reduce these disparities through education. Solidarity, for us, is not limited to financial support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds; it encompasses a global approach aimed at creating an inclusive learning environment, where each individual, regardless of their origin or means, has the opportunity to flourish and realize their potential.

2The diversity

Free training and training for families with above-average income raises the question of status. The student from a “poor” background cultivates a culture of this state of life. As much as for the child who grows up in a rich family. One could say that non-existent income status and that of wealthy parents would constitute forms of cultural diversity. We think like a rich person and we feel deeply poor without even wanting to reinvent ourselves and change things. With us, everyone has their place in training and everyone is in the same place, regardless of origin and socio-economic status.

3Impartiality

Basing access to education on merit helps slow down the achievement of the Development Goal (SDG 4) on Education. And disagree with the sacrosanct principle of discrimination or impartiality in humanitarian work. This does not mean that we work neither for quality nor for excellence. Merit should in no case be a selection criterion for training but a purpose, at the risk of being exclusionist. Let us select according to the status of the candidates (graduates or not) and assist them to achieve merit.

4Internationality

The Mother-Daughters, Center-Peripherals paradigm makes us an international institution of solidarity in the field of Lifelong Training. We are not only targeting higher education, but the value chains of lifelong learning in accordance with our group brand Vitasta, the City where we do not die.

Why Wephi? Our short story

My name is MALANHOUA Kouassi Aimé, founder and creator of We-Phi, an association of two words: We (us, solidarity) and Phi (fi), the golden letter or the 21st of the Greek alphabet signifying infinite, limitless. We-Phi or Wephi is about envisioning larger together. Try calculating the numerological values of the words WE-FI and WE-PHI, and you will find that F=PH and that the two words WEPHI and WE-FI are identical. The idea of a community of Wephilogues was born at that moment.

I was born on July 22, 1974, in Côte d'Ivoire, in Bardot, in a neighborhood that was long considered the largest slum in Africa and one of the most famous in the world. Among close friends, I was called "little Kouassi" or "Flani" by the Muslims of Bardot 6 since I am a twin.

Both my parents were and are illiterate, unable to decipher or calculate 1+1. They wanted me to go to school and obtain at least two doctorates. It may seem disorderly, but I was able to honor their memory even though they left me when they were detected HIV-positive after an unfortunate transfusion, just after I obtained my BAC Kipré.

I became both a father and a mother to my sisters and brothers. The challenges of the world compelled me to abstain from consuming any alcoholic beverages or smoking. The origin of Vitasta is in homage to a school founder, Mr. KOKO N'Guessan, who, without knowing me, offered a scholarship to my twin sister.

I understood that if there is one commodity that should not be sold, it is education. Offering scholarships to anyone in need is, for me, continuing the act that this stranger performed for strangers.

That is solidarity, humanity as advocated by the Swiss Henry DUNANT. He is my first inspiration and role model in life.

If you (re)read his story, you will understand that he was opposed by his peers, but today, he deserves to be celebrated in the Pantheon of Humanitarianism. Apart from the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chair project, I taught humanitarianism at BIOFORCE before deciding to build the Vitasta Network with a variety of entities and willing partners.

Today, with the concept of "Wephilogy" (wephi.io), we are on track to become the largest Lifelong Learning Network ever deployed.
