Comm-UNITY! | Season 13 | Episode 5 | How Rama Diallo Is Rewriting Women's Stories?
In this delightful April week, CivSource Africa is delighted to share a heartwarming story from Senegal, the land of "teranga" - where hospitality and generosity know no bounds. Today, we introduce you to Rama Diallo, a young philanthropist with a profound dedication to uplifting women.
At just 23 years old, Rama serves as the Special Assistant to the CEO at Epic Africa, a pan-African NGO based in Dakar, focusing on strengthening philanthropy among CSOs in West Africa. Rama's passion for philanthropy has placed her in the spotlight for several years. She also leads Giving Tuesday Senegal and has a soft spot for creativity and creative minds.
Recognizing a prevalent challenge faced by women in Senegal and West Africa, Rama founded Whistle Blower, an association dedicated to raising awareness about gender-based violence (GBV) in the region. Inspired by the UN's 16 Days of Activism against GBV in 2021, Rama got the Initiative running, aiming to protect women and create a conducive environment for them to thrive in Africa.
Driven by her desire to rewrite the narrative for women in her community, Rama's work with Whistle Blowers is fueled by a deep sense of responsibility towards our sisters and mothers. She urges us all with these poignant words: "Just do it!" Emphasizing the power of acting and making a difference in our own unique ways.
