Our Mission

WE HELP WOMEN SPREAD THEIR WINGS by providing them with equal economic, social and legal opportunities. We offer them access to education, healthcare and help make their dreams come true.

I’ve been travelling the world over for years. I’ve met many incredible women. Although we were born in different parts of the world, we have different skin color and we may have different beliefs, we have a lot in common despite these differences. We all want to love and be loved, to grow, and provide a better life for our children. We need to feel safe to be able to study and grow. However, many women have not been as lucky as others.

We can change this now!

Ever since I remember, after every episode of my show “WOMAN AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD” you would ask me: “How can I help? Is there anything we can do?” Over the years, together with my Friends from the editorial office and thanks to your incredible support, we have held charity fundraisers for the heroines of the show. IT IS TIME TO SPREAD OUR WINGS! This is why we founded the UNAWEZA Foundation.

Where does the exotic-sounding name come from? In the summer of 2014 in Tanzania, on the day I met Kabula, our first beneficiary and today also my adopted daughter, I attended a Swahili class with her. I saw the word UNAWEZA written in pretty handwriting in Kabula's notebook and was intrigued by it. “What does it mean?” I asked. “YOU CAN!” Kabula responded in a strong and confident voice.

YOU CAN.
Each of us can.

TOGETHER, WE CAN DO MORE!

How can you help?

Visit the UNAWEZA Foundation’s FB and Instagram profiles. Join our community, read our posts and share our campaigns so that more and more people can find out about what we are doing together.

Visit our website and read the stories of the women and children we are helping. You can support them with a one-off donation or declare a monthly payment and join the TICKET TO A BETTER LIFE program and become part of the growing group of people who have decided to help others. Remember that no donation is too small, they all count!

You cannot change the world on your own. This is why I would like to ask you to join the BECOME A FRIEND OF THE FOUNDATION project so that together we can embark on a JOURNEY TO A BETTER WORLD, a world we can begin building right now. It is an opportunity for all those who do not fear challenges and want to accompany me on my long-term mission to change the world.

There will be more and more interesting projects and campaigns that you can get involved in, so let’s stay in touch :-)

The impossible doesn’t exist in the UNAWEZA world!
BY CHANGING THE LIFE OF ONE PERSON, YOU CHANGE THE WHOLE WORLD.
