A Note from the Co-Founder
Dear Friend,
Thank you for taking a moment to learn about We Are The Hope (WATH).
My brother and I co-founded this organization in 2018, following the passing of our beloved grandmother. At the time, we were both working in music, media, and entertainment—fields we knew had the power to move people and shape culture. Her memory, and the values she lived by—community, service, and compassion for world peace—inspired us to use those tools for something greater.
That spark led us to build WATH: a global nonprofit blending creative arts, education, and measurable impact to promote sustainability, peace, and empowerment.
Over the years, we’ve grown into a movement rooted in action—driven by what we call WATHi’s: We Are The Hope Initiatives. These include the Power of Women and Girls, climate action campaigns, leadership academies, and a soon-to-be relaunched Conscious Digital Marketplace that puts economic power back into the hands of everyday people.
Whether it's our signature 3-song album, our work with communities around the world, global digital conferences, or hands-on environmental restoration—you’re invited to be part of it. If you’ve ever wondered how music, media, art, education, and technology can come together to serve humanity—this is it.
Welcome to the hope we’re building together.
With Love,
Shenali Rajaratnam
