WENDO, an acronym that means "love" in Kamba and "visitor" in Luo, stands for Women Empowerment Networking and Development Organization. As a women led, UK-based charity and focused on empowerment of women, WENDO aims to contribute to eradication of marginalisation of women especially in Kenya. We are passionate about supporting women and girls to address the challenges they are facing. Our inspiration comes from our trustees’ individual experience of burden bore by women in resource limited setting and the desire to fill the gaps that exist in society, which often disadvantage women. Recognizing the crucial role of women in the household and communities, WENDO advocates for gender equality and provides charitable, durable, and sustainable solutions through our partners particularly to women and girls living in poverty.
Women and girls have the ability and potential to excel. By supporting girls through education and women with entrepreneurial skills, we can transform live of the women and girls, the household and communities.
We recognise the ability of women and girls to utilise the skills and knowledge to find sustainable and scalable solutions to their challenges. We are on a shared mission of work and walk together with the women and girls to implement context appropriate solutions that builds on their capacitate and capabilities. We are additionally keen to encourage and support building networks of women as a support system of sharing skills, knowledge and resources.
We envision a society in which women and girls have equal opportunity to thrive and excel. We aim to approach this vision from an empowerment and networking perspective in which we not only give women a voice and platform to do so but also support them in their journey of creating solution to their changes and building on networks to amplify the benefits. The views and perspective of women and girls from different backgrounds have been considered and carefully woven into our strategy document that outlines how our vision will be collaboratively achieved.
