WBC has had connection with Joyya (previously Freeset) for many years. Joyya was founded through the merger of three companies that knew they would be better together. They originally started back in 2001 in Kolkata, India, with one ambitious goal: to spark opportunity where little is found until we see an end to the horrors of extreme poverty and human trafficking. Joyya is the beginning of their new journey together.
