Under its community empowerment initiative labelled \u2018Bring a Cheer to your Community\u2019, Vodafone Ghana Foundation has funded seven Ghanaian organizations and individuals engaged in projects with a focus on health, education, technology, children and entrepreneurial development nationwide.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”YFt0sxhK1baYi8MGFSMRpStCplrbVHde”]The initiative, which was unveiled last year, seeks to empower individuals and institutions to execute sustainable projects that address pertinent issues in their respective communities.<\/p>\n
The ultimate benefit is to create a society that is healthy and committed to contributing to the overall economic growth of the country.<\/p>\n
The seven projects, selected out of over 40 entries, were given up to GH\u00a250,000 to undertake several activities, bringing the total support to GH\u00a2350,000<\/p>\n
Commenting on the support, Nana Yaa Afriyie Ofori-Koree, Head of Vodafone Ghana Foundation and Sustainability said:\u00a0\u201cWe are proud to support Ghanaians who are passionate about solving challenges they have identified in their respective communities. As a Foundation with a mandate to ensure a society with improved lives, we will continue to fashion out ways we can continue to deliver this throughout the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
The seven recipients of the support include STEMbees Organisation, an entity with a focus on getting teenage girls interested in computer programming; Divine Mother and Child Foundation, which will be seeking to improve maternal and child health through community outreach programmes with the use of mobile ultrasound scan; Paul Anomah-Kordieh, a visually-impaired Broadcast Journalist with ETV in Ghana, who will use the support to provide learning materials and medical screening for deaf and dumb students in the Eastern Region; and The Sugar Project, championed by Kojo Yankson, a radio presenter at Joy FM.<\/p>\n
