The Bernadette Rébiénot Foundation was established to honor the remarkable legacy of Rose Bernadette Rébiénot Owansango, a Gabonese traditional healer, cultural advocate, and champion for women’s rights. With decades of experience and a profound connection to ancestral wisdom, Grandmother Bernadette dedicated her life to preserving and promoting traditional healing practices and empowering communities.
Through her work, she has become a symbol of strength and resilience. Her contributions extend globally, including her participation in the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, where she collaborated with women leaders from around the world to protect and share indigenous knowledge.
The foundation seeks to carry forward Grandmother Bernadette’s vision, safeguarding her knowledge and expanding her impact by fostering programs in traditional healing, women’s empowerment, and Gabonese culture.
By maintaining the legacy of Grandmother Bernadette, we strive to be a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern well-being, creating sustainable solutions for communities worldwide.
