AWWAS | Our Story

Our Story

Sometime in 2017, AWWAS embarked on a journey to aid the African girl in finding her voice over the hold of victimisation and the culture of silence it thrives in, inspiring her to be an agent of social change. AWWAS is an acronym for A Woman With A Story. It is an initiative of the Dan Kauna Foundation (CAC/IT/ NO 120928) that provides a platform for creative therapy and expression for women, with the goal of transforming emotional trauma into stories that drive social change.
