WOHA STORY
In the face of the tumultuous and unpredictable year of 2020, where social distancing and shielding became the norm, the Women of Heart Awards (WOHA) emerged as a beacon of hope and compassion. Despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic, WOHA adapted and thrived as an online celebration, recognising fifteen exceptional “womentarians” from around the world during the lockdown. This innovative spirit set the stage for a future in-person ceremony that would gather these compassionate women together in celebration.
As the world grappled with the pandemic and its aftermath in 2021, the list of honourees for the Women of Heart Awards grew exponentially. From an initial group of fifteen, the number of recipients expanded to fifty, seventy-five, and eighty-eight remarkable women. These honourees are the heart particles of our Women of Hearts for 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, who have demonstrated unwavering dedication and compassion in their humanitarian efforts.
Each year as we eagerly anticipate our annual celebration ceremony of Women of Heart Awards, we are filled with gratitude to honour and celebrate the compassionate souls who embody humanity, creativity, humility, generosity, integrity, and intelligence—reminding us that there are great individuals who recognise and appreciate those who bring positive change through their leadership, philanthropy, business acumen, investments, creative pursuits, innovative endeavours, and intellectual contributions every day.
WOHA ceremony is a one-night celebration that responds to the increasing number of honourees from online in 2020, 2021 and personal celebrations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 at The Leonardo Royal Hotel, St Paul Godliman Street, London, on November 16th, 2024. This event celebrates women’s remarkable achievements.
“When we come together, we are an invisible force that can create a brighter, more peaceful and empowered world.”

About WOHA
- Women of Heart Awards-WOHA 88 London is a celebration of the beating hearts of our humanitarian world.
- Whilst the current tumultuous 2020 has unexpectedly kept most of us socially distancing and shielded, our compassionate Women of Hearts battled away as an online celebration during the lockdown to recognise fifteen womentarians of humanity globally while making plans for a physical ceremony as an in-person celebration.
- And with the pandemic and lockdowns still in full effect in 2021, the Women of Heart Awards list of recipients has grown tremendously from 15 to 50-75-88 as our honoree number, which made up the heart particles of our women of hearts of 20/21/22.
- Therefore, with many challenges worldwide, the Women of Hearts Awards-WOHA is creating a triple-year ceremony celebrating the hearts making a difference in our world and launching the Gentlemen of Heart Awards, Goha, on the same evening.

A Word From Our Founder
My one wish is for everyone to be happy, and to live in a world where peacefulness and the energy of cosmic love can be radiated and felt through every human existence and experience.
The love of helping fellow social realities has provided me with great pleasure to continue spreading love, kindness and compassion and hope through humanitarian experiences with some of the UK’s foremost charitable organisations as a volunteer. However, these experiences have propelled me to aspire social entrepreneurship by founding Women of Heart Foundation, to recognise, promote, inspire, celebrate, educate and empower women and young girls, and to support those in need.
However, this initiative exists through events such as Women of Heart Awards, a celebration of the incredible things women are doing to make a difference in the world, and The face of WOHA, the empowered woman brand, product and platform connecting and uniting diverse women, women leaders and entrepreneurs through the power of public speaking. Your face, your voice and your message to the world.
Moreover, let us continue to speak, feel and spread love through our thoughts and actions. Put love in all you do; when love wins, the world wins.
