The 12th season of Martyna’s programme “Woman and the Edge of the World” has begun. The heroines who Martyna met are supporting the activities of the UNAWEZA Foundation and send their greetings to all of those who are helping us to help women spread their wings!
ZENA CHAHINE was the first woman in the Volunteer Fire Service in Lebanon and now she’s head of an entire women’s division. During the tragic explosion in August in Beirut port she risked her life to save others.
VERONICA, the heroine of another episode of the programme “Woman at the Edge of the World” is from Ghana. She’s a professional mourner at funerals. Veronica became a professional mourner right after her children were born when she was barely 19 years old.
She raised them alone, acting as both their mum and dad.
