DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE
The Takoradi based business woman who is people-centred and has a soft spot for the underprivileged in society, established the MAMA THESS Foundation as a special purpose vehicle for her philanthropic programmes.

One of the priority areas of the Foundation is investment in girl-child education. A number of young girls in both Takoradi where she plies her business and Nsuta Bonkrong her home town have benefitted greatly from her generosity and are in school where she caters for all their needs to enable them access education and reach their goals.

Teenage pregnancy is another concern of the Nkosuohemaa as she has devoted a lot of time, energy and resources to educate young girls to as much as possible avoid teenage pregnancy, but to concentrate on their education and training till completion.

Those who unfortunately became victims of teenage pregnancy were supported to go back to school or learn a trade so they do not become a burden on their parents and society.

Being a devout Christian, she collaborated with the husband to invest in the construction of the Nsuta Bonkrong Anglican Church, a project which started in 2007 to give a befitting place of worship to the Anglican Congregation. She also supported other church projects and the construction of a prayer centre at Adansi Kusa.

LOVE FOR CHILDREN
As a mother, she extended her love not only to her biological children but also to the underprivileged children with special needs as well as orphans. It is therefore not surprising that, she is the honorary Mother of the Twin-City Special School where she ensures the children are well catered for.
The Kejebil Children’s Home in the Ahanta West Municipality is another beneficiary of her generous contribution the wellbeing of children. She makes annual donations to the orphanage.
