New Beneficiaries Nneka Youth Foundation supports 3 new beneficiaries who have potential but have very little or no financial support to further their education to the next level. We were able to get support for these children to the Senior High school level and now they have the hope of realizing their dreams. Follow-ups on some of our wards to some of the schools and even homes were revealing. It was sad to still see some children of school-going age at home; this proves how much work we have on our hands as a nation. We were also very privileged to have delivered the Education support given to 12 of our children by our friends from TKM, The Headteachers and their guardians were full of gratitude to our supporters, TKM.

We were privileged to welcome once again our friends from TKM, USA to join us reach out to 950 young people from five basic schools; two in Afadzato South District and three in the Ningo Prampram District. Our mantra ‘’Commit Today, Build tomorrow ‘’ dominated the empowerment theme. The essential nuggets of Self Belief, Purpose, Goal setting, and Planning were imparted to these young future leaders. TKM continued their great philanthropic mission by offering to support 12 more of our young people through basic education. We are poised to raise more world-changers and transform more lives this decade. Date: 20 – 23/01/2020, Number of Students reached: 950
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT (Beneficiary Engagement)
Nneka Youth foundation started 2020 on a good note by bringing together a cross-section of some of our scholarship beneficiaries who have been under our support since 2012. They are made up of students from various levels; Junior and Senior High schools, teacher training colleges, and universities. This meeting was held to help them network and appreciate themselves and learn from one another, the various circumstances under which Nneka identifies with them. This we believe, would help them push hard to be successful in life. Number of Beneficiaries: 30 Date: 3/01/2020
2020 INTRODUCTION MESSAGE FROM CEO
Nneka Youth Foundation has chalked immeasurable successes in the last eight (8) years and our impacts and successes stories are very visible and tangible. Our mission has been to empower the youth to keep them in school, end child marriage, and foster gender equality in rural deprived communities in Ghana. Our major strategy in making this massive impact on the lives of children is centered on summer camps, follow-ups, book drives, scholarship schemes, educational logistics support to young people in communities that are lagging behind in personal and community-based development, teacher training seminars, community sensitization projects, vocational and life skills training for teenage mothers and out of school girls among others. Up to June 2020, our scope stretched across 252 communities in four regions in Ghana, reaching out to over 18,000 youth and young women. This has been tremendous growth from our initial activities with only 500 children from 10 communities when we set sail in 2012. Our primary goal is to expand our life-changing work to as many communities as possible and create many more opportunities for children and women in rural, deprived communities, to say no to poverty and illiteracy to empower them to match up to their counterparts in the developed urban areas and to do this over the long term. Nneka Youth Foundation greatly looks forward to your prospective contributions as stakeholders to our success story. Your valued partnership will be very essential in aiding us to more effectively impact the lives of the youth and women we work with
