Caroline Makaka is the founder of Ladies of all
Nations International also known as LOANI. It is a
supportive non-profit global organisation, covering
over 85 countries, promoting inclusiveness and
bringing together like-minded individuals to
promote diversity inclusiveness among people
from all backgrounds and cultures
Dr Caroline is a determined and vigorous
individual, yet pleasantly calm. She reflects
a variety of personalities including ambition,
generosity and thoughtfulness. Her mission is
to connect cultures and help underprivileged
communities. She also created Beautiful
Survivors, an initiative dedicated to recognising
people who have been victims of circumstances
but still emerge as winners.
Beautiful Survivors is about people who have
faced challenges in their lives, who fought
cancer, domestic violence, victims of torture,
those who have lost their loved ones, parents
who have lost children and other extraordinary
circumstances. These remarkable people
are survivors, resilient, fighters, champions,
changemakers and community activists. These
are people who have distinguished themselves
from the challenges in their lives so that they
can contribute to different sectors and services
in their communities to do something to help
others and raise awareness.
