Dencia Visits The Wend Fangdee Orphanage in Burkina Faso

​On January 8th 2017, Singer,skincare mogul and philantrophist Dencia visited The Wend Fangdee orphanage. 

The orphanage is situated in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, and accommodates 27 children, 26 of which are under the age of 5. The chief objective of Dencia’s trip was to identify the needs and concerns of the orphanage in order improve the young orphans living standards and quality of life through an affiliation with her foundation. 

​“There is a little boy at the orphanage who suffers from cerebral palsy and another with Autism and they are not getting the assistance they need. He cannot walk or talk and he can’t stand on his own. He needs a wheelchair and I don’t think the orphanage can afford one on its own. I cannot turn a blind eye; I want to help the Wend Fangdee orphanage to the best of my means and capabilities,” I am no Angelina Jolie but i do this from my pockets, I try to do these trips at least 7 times a year.This helps ground me as a person"remarked Dencia in a heartfelt summation of her trip. 


​Dencia went on to say, “the children do not have beds, they currently sleep on mattresses placed on the floor. They appeared to be well fed but they don’t have access to regular medical assistance; many of them have a flu because they lack basic medical necessities like cough syrup and flu medication.” Dencia continued,“Most of their clothing is damaged or has been outgrown; they need new clothing, socks and shoes.”

​Dencia gifted the orphanage with 90 days worth of food, snacks, drinks, soap, toilet paper and other essentials. Dencia intends to make continual life –altering contributions towards The Wend Fangdee orphanage.


​The Dencia Foundation For Hope is proud to announce an affiliation with Burkina Faso’s Wend Fangdee orphanage and intends to contribute to the vital process of bettering the lives of the orphaned children at The Wend Fangdee establishment. This shall be done through the provision of clean water, regular meals, educational opportunities, motivational efforts, consistent medical aid, clothing, shoes and better living conditions, amongst other key endeavours.
