Women On A Mission

Through Women On A Mission (WOAM), the award-winning non-profit organisation she co-founded, Christine has led teams on challenging expeditions around the world and raised awareness and funds - about $1.4 million USD to date - to support women who have been subjected to violence and abuse. WOAM partners with existing well-established non-profit institutions that already have programmes and structures in place dedicated to serving the underprivileged with a particular focus on women's issues.

WOAM's Big Sister Programme

Since 2015, WOAM has been supporting Pertapis Centre for Women & Girls (PCWG) - a residential home for underprivileged troubled teenaged girls who have been abused physically, psychologically and/or sexually - by funding an arts therapy programme, which aims to help these young women regain confidence, hope and a purpose in life.

In 2017, to offer more one-on-one support to the girls in the home, WOAM set up its Big Sister Programme and is now currently recruiting its 5th cohort of Big Sisters to mentor and support the young women and girls at Pertapis. It’s been a humbling but incredibly fulfilling journey thus far, especially working with the social workers from Pertapis and seeing the little sisters blossom and thrive.
