This is Milicent.
Milicent Kagonga 29, is a Cervical Cancer survivor and one of our beneficiaries at Donate A Wig. She comes from Kariobangi North one of the most deprived areas in Kenya. In 2018 Milicent attended one of our Feel Good Makeover Sessions and later a Vision Board Workshop. Milicent shared that there were no Cancer support groups in the underprivileged areas of Nairobi.

We were able to help her put a plan together through one of our workshops to set up a support group in her local area. We are excited to share that Milicent went ahead and founded Symbol of Hope Warriors (SOHW) a registered charity whose mission is to reduce cancer-related stigma. The charity to date has almost 80 members. Not only were we able to give Milicent a physical makeover but we were also able to offer her the tools she needed to pursue her passion.

Milicent has been one of the inspirations behind Donate A Wig and continues to be part of the DAW family. SOHW currently works closely with DAW to help make our services accessible to more women who may otherwise not have reached out for support.
