Carjacked and brutally assaulted, Wangu was shattered. Years later, she has resiliently risen above her trauma and now reaches out to those in need.

From the challenges and stigma she went through, Wangu founded The Wangu Kanja Foundation that supports survivors of sexual violence to access medical, psychological, legal redress as well as creating awareness.

The Wangu Kanja Foundation (K) is an international organisation that is run and managed from the HQ in Kenya. We are committed to women's health and human rights in the struggle to address sexual violence and its linkages to HIV and AIDS as well as ending all forms of violence against women and girls.
