About Us
Our Story: Woman of Valour was born from a God-inspired vision to create a space where women are valued, supported, and empowered to rise above life’s challenges. The founding member, Sis Iso Mendy-Bruku, a visionary and devoted lover of God, felt a divine calling to impact the lives of women in The Gambia. Driven by her passion for faith and purpose, she birthed this transformative group to fulfil that calling and to provide women with a platform where they could discover their God-given potential and live lives of significance.
At Woman of Valour, we believe in equipping women with the tools, guidance, and community needed to grow in faith, overcome obstacles, and walk boldly in their divine purpose. This is more than a group, it’s a sisterhood rooted in God’s love, dedicated to uplifting women to make an eternal impact.
