What is Be The Voice?
Wawina’s brainchild, the “Be the Voice” Foundation, is more than a beauty-centric endeavor. It’s a global initiative focused on developing young models, fostering confidence, and bringing empowerment to communities across the globe. Wawina explains, “It’s about more than just appearances; it’s about creating a positive force for change.”
This Festive season of 2023, she went on and discovered talents in the ghettos that say Modeling, Dancing, and singing. She went on to train young people in Port Bell with the help of HOLISTIC ACTION FOR DEVELOPMENT AND EMPOWERMENT (HADE) for the Christmas party celebration. This included a runway where models showcased creative wear using recycled materials i.e. plastic bags, socks, and papers. They also showcased BE THE VOICE FOUNDATION T-shirts, jewelry, and body painting.
They also performed and danced to different songs of their choice, and they shared a cake with the community, and Santa gave out gifts to the community.
The 2023 Miss Gorgeous International Uganda’s BE THE VOICE FOUNDATION has not only launched nationwide, but since August 28, it has collected 200 toys, 1000 dollars, and clothes. The goal is to cheer up thousands of children in poor communities.
