Meet Bennie

The Bennie Griffins Foundation, founded by Benedicta Oviesu, widely known as Bennie Griffins, is dedicated to empowering women and vulnerable groups in Nigeria. Since its inception in 2010, the foundation has positively impacted the lives of over 1,000 widows by providing vocational training and financial assistance.

In addition to these efforts, the foundation organizes sports rehabilitation programs that utilize movement as a therapeutic tool for healing trauma, stress, and emotional challenges faced by women and young girls. Furthermore, the foundation actively advocates against gender-based violence and extends its support to African migrants, particularly in Germany. One of its key initiatives, the Miss Ebony Germany pageant, promotes cultural integration and empowerment within the community.
