Ghana: Global Citizen partners with Stonebwoy’s foundation

The campaign aims to enhance social and economic progress, generate employment, and support non-profits in driving meaningful local change, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

TLF, which was founded in 2017, aims to improve the quality of life in Ghana through various initiatives such as education, youth empowerment, healthcare, and disability justice. The foundation provides resources, skill development, and advocacy for underserved and disabled individuals.

This new partnership is expected to support and expand TLF’s efforts both nationally and internationally.

Global Citizen stated that TLF was chosen for its reach, demonstrated impact, presence across diverse regions in Ghana, and focus on women and children’s health.

Liz Agbor-Tabi, Global Citizen’s vice president of global policy and strategic relationships, expressed the belief that this initiative will create lasting change and drive progress towards SDGs in Ghana. She added that by increasing health financing and supporting the critical work of non-profit organisations like TLF, the Move Afrika: Ghana campaign aims to contribute to a healthier and more prosperous future for all Ghanaians.

TLF’s director, Louisa Ansong-Satekla, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating that they share a common vision of creating a better world for future generations. She believes that this partnership will enable them to scale their efforts and make a meaningful difference in the lives of many. “As a charity with a demonstrated impact over the years, we remain committed to creating a better quality of life for the Ghanaian community through our educational resources, skills development programs, and advocacy for underserved communities," she said.

TLF is one of five non-profits chosen for the Move Afrika: Ghana campaign.

In the past year, TLF initiated a borehole drilling project in Ghanaian towns affected by illegal mining. The foundation also runs initiatives like the BHIM Workshop, which provides training in small-scale farming, entrepreneurship, food and agro-processing, and fashion production.

Recently, Stonebwoy collaborated with the Africa Prosperity Network, a platform aimed at fostering Africa's private sector growth, to release a song titled ‘I Believe In Africa’. The song contests the stereotype of poverty in the continent.
