I don't know what DWEM stands for, but assuming that the WE part is
"Western European" or "white European" let me suggest, for a few examples:

The decimal system of numbers (hindu)
Algebra (Muslim)
Modern architecture (heavily influenced by Japanese architecture)
Rockets (China)

I don't know if you count Christianity as having contributed to world
happiness, but it did originate in the Middle East, as did Islam and
Judaism.
