Here in the UK, many things are thrown away, causing huge waste mountains which destroy the ecosystem of the environment – when they could be reused in Ghana or parts of Africa.

I have donated sports kits and medals worth thousands of cedis to Nana Afia Kobi Ampem Ladies Sporting Club (NAKA SC), a female division one side in Kumasi to enhance the team’s professionalism. More details

Last year before the death of my mum I had a terrible experience at the local hospital in Ghana, when my mother had to lie down on the floor in pain, due to a lack of beds and wheelchairs. I started a campaign on my return to the UK, and with the help of my ward councillor, John Fox, I was connected to people who could help me transport used wheelchairs to Ghana.

I have just began this mission, and people are getting the message slowly. I don’t think it would be right to stop now, for there are people in the rural areas who can benefit a lot from the used medical equipment or the jerseys to motivate them into sporting activities to eliminate weakness and laziness.

I will be glad if many people can join me or support me to make this a big thing, as all help could be put to use. There are already existing well-known international charity organisations helping out, but not everything sent out reaches the poor people in my area, and that was one of my reasons for starting this project.
