The house, provided by Joberg Foundation, comprises a kitchen, bathroom, living room, porch, and fully equipped with solar panels, along with a spacious compound. This marks the third instance of Joberg Foundation donating homes to those in need, following previous donations to two widows.

Joberg Foundation's initiative aims to support homeless, impoverished, and hardworking individuals by providing them with free housing.

Ms. Amoah, overwhelmed with gratitude, could not contain her tears during the presentation ceremony, expressing profound thanks to the management of Joberg Ghana Limited and Joberg Foundation for their generosity.

Ms. Amoah shared her challenging journey, particularly after giving birth to her daughter, facing rejection from family members who labeled the child as a "marine spirit." Despite the hardships, she persevered, tending to her daughter's needs while earning a living by selling sachet water daily.

The selection process for the donation involved an application submitted by Mary Kufuor, Founder of Klicks Africa Foundation, an NGO supporting autistic children, upon learning about Joberg's initiative.
