Singer Starts the WOW Foundation. And Here’s How You Can Help

The Ivory Coast-born and raised Kenyan-based artiste, Vanika Pink is known for her hit songs Jibeba, Raha Yangu and Special. She is now doing her bit to give back to society by setting up a foundation.

Women Of Wonder (WOW) was founded to empower women from all walks of life. It was also founded to celebrate the important roles of women in the society. Not to mention to increase awareness in women’s being, thus making them wiser happier and more appreciative of themselves.

Women of Wonder Aspires to be the platform that girls transforming into responsible women will look up to for empowerment: gender, social, economic and political empowerment. This is an amazing time to Grow as a Woman and Women of Wonder aim to do more.

Vannesa Obura a.k.a Vanika Pink says, “I have been through a lot in my life. I have had a lot of insecurities I’ve been dealing with and it took me a lot of time to realize who I am. I also realized there are many girls who suffer from what I suffered from. Self worth, self esteem issues and not loving who they are. These girls sometimes have no one to talk to, they don’t have many role models in the society today.”

And then the singer explains why she started the foundation, “It took alot to discover myself and I was lucky to have a wonderful strong people in my life. My best friend, my step mother and my ex-boyfriend, who is still a good friend, helped me realize my worth. But not many girls have that. Not many girls are as lucky as me. So that’s why I decided to start this foundation. My main aims and objectives are to be able to actually help these girls and change their lives. God blessed me with people who helped. Now I want to help those that have no one and be there for them.”

Women of Wonder is preparing for a revolution and needs all your help. If you think you can directly join the journey to inspiring other women, WOW needs you to come on board. At the moment, the foundation needs counselors who can volunteer bring change to many ailing women.

WOW is a place of empowerment. And empowerment needs power. So if you can run the world, send the WOW team a message and they will get back to you with details. Check out their Facebook page, ‘Women Of Wonder Kenya’ or follow them on twitter @womenofwonderke.
