Making Lasting Change, Together

WHO WE ARE
We speak up! We step out!

Vickie Munah Blidi Klah
Founder/CEO

Our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly in the actions of our initiatives. From the moment we started WINGs International a Women Empowerment Non-Profit Organization in 2022, we understood that by working together we could overcome the many challenges facing women today. We ultimately decided to launch wingsintl.org based on the mission that social change begins with empowerment.

Our Mission

WINGs’ goal is to create a Community/platform where every Woman will be empowered toward self-confidence, and motivated to step out into a better life.

Our vision: To encourage, nurture, and develop skills that support economic and vocational growth for the betterment of every member of WINGs to build better and stronger communities.

Substance Abuse and Rehabilatation

Substance abuse is a global epidemic that is ranging from one community to another regardless of geographic setting or race. As more youth are battling the challenges associated with substance abuse, WINGs has developed a model that communicates, listens, and get involved with youth and adolescents on the path that leads to long-term sobriety and vocational stability.

Our background

WINGs Rehabilitation was inspired by six young men known as (“Brothers of WINGs)” 4 of whom were themselves slaves to drugs. Through their stories, WINGs’ Drug Rehabilitation Service was visualized and brought to life. The goal of WINGs’ Rehabilitation is to provide a nurturing and empowering vision for our brothers and sisters towards a sustainable life of sobriety and vocational stability. We are motivated by the life changing adventures and contributions of young men who have transitioned from addiction to community building. The overall goal is to secure a platform/community that will guide or point every recovery addict towards a sustainable future of hope and possibilities.

What have we learned:

a. We have been on this journey since April 2, 2022 and have come to understand that engaging a youth or an abuser must start with a relationship that is non-judgmental in a clear and honest tone of voice (conversation). We have also learned that the challenges of addiction are many and complex; as such, no one program can rehabilitate the whole person. For us to be successful we must create sustainable programs and be intentional in creating communities where collaboration and information sharing between local and international organizations are encouraged.

b. We have also learned that a stronger team must be diversed in skills and experiences. Our goal must always be toward a success outcome for the addict not us. As we visit one ghetto to another, we must be intentional in meeting each youth where they are regardless of the community or socio economic background. Lastly, we have come to realize that the progress we have made and those we will make moving forward are the product of our togetherness, not as an individual; collectively, we maximize our resources.

What progress have we made:

Our most success story is looking you right in the face….6 young men whose’ futures were almost taken from them by drugs are now Ambassadors on the field giving their brothers and sisters hope of a better tomorrow. Through their stories, we have gained confidence and envision a better tomorrow for every youth who is being imprisoned by drugs and/or alcohol. Because we continue to fund rehab services for individuals from one short-term facility to another without lasting result, the launching of WINGs’ Rehabilitation Center in 2024 will be one of our biggest successes. In preparation of operating the center, three of our five Substance Abuse Ambassadors are in training. One is already working as a Substance Abuse Counselor, another is a Rehab clergy.

How do we plan to sustain this program:

We believed that substance abuse is an epidemic that is not limited to one community, city, or country; as such, government, private, and non-profit entities are all concerned and ready to step in and collaborate with any organization with clear goals and transparency.

Education - the Gateway

The world is being illuminated by education from one community to another, but unfortunately, children in impoverished low-income communities in developing countries are being impacted the most. Children in countries like Liberia in West African, and others are still lacking access to this great opportunity that supposed to prepare the next generation for a fast pace informed society. In some family’s dynamic, four out of five children are not in school from lack of resources created from unemployment, and/or lack of financial support created by the death of a parent, who was the sole bread winner. While there are so many needs, one of the areas of focused of WINGs is education through the assistance of Philip K. Klah Educational Foundation… WINGs in collaboration with the Philip K. Klah Sr. Education Foundation is trying to shatter glass ceilings for young men and women through education. While WINGs Int’l Corp is currently limited to providing funding to more than one child among a family of five through the assistance of the Klah’s Foundation, your assistance can increase the number from one to three. We can do more through your assistance… The educational need for a child is not limited to age, or gender. Children from kindergarten to High School are waiting for your assistance to fulfill the academic promise associated with being educated. Ages ranging from 5-year-old to 23-year-old are all waiting for assistance for funding from $100 a year to 300 a year. Below is an example of the grade levels and tuition cost. If you need to sponsor a child, please call 984-271-6701 or write us at info@wingsint.org or ceo@wingsint.org. We can also be reached through mail at WINGs Int’l Corp@ P.O. Box, 215, Butner, NC 27549

Sanitation and Health

Clean Environment Healthy Community

Sanitation is paramount to the overall health of any Nation. Sanitation is not limited to just a clean environment, but access to clean drinking water and restrooms. These basic needs/resources can reduce/eliminate health issues like the spread of diseases that may result in fatalities. WINGs’ Moto is “Cleaned Environment/Healthy Communities.” With education, WINGs’ members are engaged in cleaning their communities and advocating for wells, and community toilets for those who do not have such amenities within their individuals’ homes.

Healthcare for women/children

Healthcare for women and children is a daily need that exceed any need because, as the saying goes, “where there is life, there is hope of a better life.” WINGs Int’l Corp’s major goal was to bring women together from one community to another on a platform that needs and empowers through share values and diverse skills. But within our first two years or existence, the organization realized that without focus on healthcare in developing countries like Liberia, Seirra Lone and others where we intend to expand, there will be no success despite the resiliency of the women in these countries. WINGs Int’l has identified the demand for assistance for education, rehabilitation due to substance use among youth, lack of sanitation that is generating diseases, and many more, but nothing prepared us for the daily death of pregnant young women from lack of access to prenatal care. Two cases that are always on my mind included (I) the death of a 6 months pregnant 29-year-old mother of two who died with the baby from complications that could have been addressed if the resources, tools and finance were all accessible, and (2), 22-year-old mother who was abandoned by her husband and family when her baby was born with only one arm. The story behind the death of the 29-year-old pregnant mother was lack of money, which resulted to her been turned away from more than two healthcare facilities when she needed care the most. Lack of diagnostic tools like ultrasound to detect any abnormality with the baby prior to birth led to the second mother been abandoned by her family after giving birth. These incidents are example of what awaken WINGs’ interest to partner with clinics with an Agreement Of Understand (MOU) that aim to service low-in-women pregnant women with or without cost.

The process led WINGs to several clinics that were recommended as high quality and cost-effective clinics. During our visits, we met great staff who are in the business of saving lives but needed assistance to save those lives. For example, We visited clinics with no examination bed, no crib for newborn, no ultrasound machine to see if a baby is position right or if there is any deformity about the baby that the parents need to know beforehand. It is in this view that I took to the internet to solicit used medical supplies of any type. If you have read this story and know of anyone/organization engaged in donating similar supplies like those listed, please reach WINGs at 984-271-6701 or email us at info@wingsint.org or ceo@wingsint.org. We can also be reached through mail at WINGs Int’l Corp@ P.O. Box, 215, Butner, NC 27549

Here are pictures during one of WINGS’ visit to our Partners clinics, which prompted the need for used medical supplies. We are also looking for a Van to transport pregnant mothers and their babies to/from treatment to reduce the cost of transportation.

Microfinancing

Microfinancing is about providing resources to the underserved mothers who are unable and/or may not even be considered for a loan from a traditional bank due to the inability to read/write, give a collateral, and/or have access to a lending institution in some communities. WINGs’ goal is to provide her members with the minimal amount needed without any interest to start or increase products for a better income.

Mentoring -

Connecting Women

Every woman deserves a chance to change her world. Mentoring offers them the opportunity to channel their aspirations toward positive change for themselves and those around them. With the support of our staff, transformations are taking place every day.

Give a helping hand to women and children

When you help a woman, you help a community! When you help a community, you help a nation! WINGs help provide the best services, and life skills training to our women, and enable them to achieve their highest potential as we help to strengthen communities through charitable contributions.
