Year Established
Real stories from the women and communities whose lives have been transformed.
Through the vocational training provided by WAF, I was able to leave a life of transactional sex behind. Today, I am a professional makeup artist and I can take care of my children.
Program Beneficiary
The trauma counseling and post sexual abuse care saved my life. When I thought I had no voice left after the abuse, the Wanda Adu Foundation took care of my medicals, listened to me, protected me, and helped me find my strength again. I was rated and forced to marry my abuser because I am orphaned and had no one to fight for my rights. I got referred to WAF and they supported me with everything I needed to reclaim my life and dignity. I left my abuser after 3 children and I am empowered now. I am a happy woman now. Thank you WAF Team.

I was a brothel based escort in Abuja. The Wanda Adu Foundation rescued me and took me to a safe shelter. They empowered me through fashion and design school for one year. Today, I am a fashion designer and tailor, married with a handsome son. My dignity is restored, I am happier and love my new life. Thank you Team WAF.
