THE SPECIAL STORY OF A LEADING AND INFLUENTIAL BUSINESSWOMAN AND POLITICAL STAR. READ HER CAPTIVATING STORY. HERE WE GO.......
HER name is Mary Wambui.
She is a respected heroine from Kenya in the East African region, located in the larger Africa.
She is a leading and prominent businesswoman as well as a political activist.
Her frankness in pointing out crucial issues affecting her country and fellow citizens, has culminated in her meteoric rise to fame and political stardom.
And yes, Mary Wambui is a great philanthropist. She often sacrifices her hard- earned money for the betterment of mankind.
She travels all over Kenya feeding the hungry and destitute children, poor women and men.
She is too concerned with the welfare of the poor and the sick.
It touches her too much. And Mary Wambui has compassion for the suffering. She is also a champion of peace.
In the run- up to the 2007 General elections in Kenya- her native country, Wambui toured countless and several parts of the country emphasizing the need for peaceful elections, while urging Kenyans to Shun any acts of violence.
"I urge you, my dear and fellow Kenyans, to shun violence and politicians who seek to incite you to violence for their own selfish ends. Violence is evil. Please do conduct yourselves peacefully during the elections and after the elections", Wambui repeated these remarks in several campaign rallies during the electioneering period.
She was campaigning for the re-election of President Mwai Kibaki on the Party of National Unity (PNU) where she centered on the Head of States impressive development record as his score card.
She also stated that President Kibaki was an embodiment of peace and had guaranteed freedom of expression in the country that was absent in the past.
But immediately after the election results were announced, people who were incited by opposition politicians particularly in the expansive Rift Valley province of Kenya, ran amok and engaged in an orgy of violence never witnessed before.
Over 1,600 people were killed, hundreds maimed, thousands displaced and property worth billions of shillings torched. It was a very sad and hurting picture in Independent Kenya´s political history.
Overcome by emotions and great sympathy, Mary Wambui, while calling for peace, visited the sites of the internally displaced persons (IDP´s), counseling and consoling the thousands of the suffering children, women and men.
In most instances , she broke down and wept over the deplorable conditions of the displaced clash victims in the camps, and who recounted harrowing tales of escape and misery during attacks launched by armed groups after violence erupted.
PHILANTHROPY
While pursuing her natural line of philanthropy, Wambui donated food stuffs, clothing´s and beddings to the clash victims who were scattered all over the country.
She has been making donations to the have-nots through and through.
Wambui confronts every situation with vigor and vitality and inspiration from God as she is a God-fearing leader.
She detests any form of egocentricity. She has placed the welfare of other people above her own.
She is an unsung heroine, great patriot, a caring mother with a responsible family, and a living legend not only in Kenya or Africa, but in the whole world.
Her goal is to make the world look better than it is seen at the moment.
It is for this reason that Wambui frequently contributes to development-projects geared towards eradicating poverty and suffering, while, at the same time, preaching a peace message.
And Mary Wambui´s achievements particularly on philanthropy, have catapulted her to the ranks and wonderful category of other great women achievers recognized in the world such as Mother Teresa of Calcutta who struggled for the poor and the sick, Florence Nightingale who fought for the survival of the dying through nursing, Nadine Gordimer who crusaded for the rights of oppressed South African blacks and the iconic Ayaan Hirsi Ali- the motivational and sharp Muslim speaker and women leader, noted for her commitment in fighting for the restoration of fundamental women freedoms and rights!
Back to Mary Wambui, she is a woman of great courage and a tireless fighter for the rights of the suffering and underprivileged.
She is also articulate and a good public speaker. Leaders of Mary Wambui´s caliber are hard to come by in the world.
