Our work
Our initial project in 2018 focused on two of the sustainable development goals, that is, zero hunger, and good health and wellbeing, by organizing gifts packages that included personal hygiene items as well as distributing nutritious meals to children in a rural town, Tadzewu, in the Volta Region of Ghana. In 2019, we were able to include four of the sustainable goal developments; quality education, good health and wellbeing, zero hunger, no poverty, by providing tuition scholarships to 8 children and enrolled 3 siblings who have never had an education. Through collaborative efforts, we were able to donate new baby supplies to mothers in the maternity of 37 military hospital in Accra, Ghana and set up businesses for two parents whose children benefited from the scholarship scheme as a way to combat poverty. On Christmas eve, the foundation organized nutritious meals to be distributed to a children’s home in Kumasi, Ghana in anticipation of Christmas. We are looking forward to extending our projects through partnerships with different organizations who share the same goal across all regions in Ghana and around the world to improve the quality of life for children.
YENMA CAMPAIGNS
YenMa Baby packages: Yen team selects a hospital with a maternity ward and donates new baby supplies including diapers, feeding bottles, detergents, antiseptic wash, baby toys, formula (optional), and baby wipes etc. This is to support families who may not be able to afford them, however, they also serve as our gifts to the new baby.
YenMa Scholarship and Enrollment Scheme: YenMa Foundation seeks to enroll more children in school to combat child labor. We select children whose families have experienced loss of a parent or a guardian and are unable to afford tuition. The scholarships cover a semester to a year’s tuition so children can focus on their education to become our future leaders.
YenMa Feeding Program: YenMa Foundation partners with children’s homes and orphanages to feed children in poverty and fight against hunger. You can support by nominating any children’s home!
YenMa Christmas packages: Our goal is to make children happy so we put together Christmas packages for children living in the rural or urban areas. The packages include clothing items, snacks, and customized gifts for children!
UPCOMING PROJECTS
YenMa homework buddies: We will recruit students in higher level grades to help students in lower level grades with their homework. Every member on this team will also serve as a homework buddie for our senior tutors. This project seeks to build leadership skills in our students and have them take initiatives by supporting each other for a better tomorrow.
YenMa Smile kits: A personal hygiene initiative to promote more smiles through oral health hygiene. This kit will contain toothpastes and toothbrushes for the entire family to get parents involved for a sustainable practice.
