Akumaa marks 18th Anniversary of MZF, supports thousands of widows

GHANAIAN media personality, Joyce Akumaa Dongotey-Padi, affectionately called Akumaa, has marked the 18th anniversary of her Mama Zimbi Foundation (MZF).

The event was held at the Broken Yoke Ministry International at Klagon in Accra.

Thousands of widows who benefited were taken through health education for good living, business enhancement, women empowerment and legal education, among others.

In addition, they were given water, cloth, rice, noodles, oil, Noko Fine Washing Powder and other toiletries.

Mrs Dongotey-Padi noted that there is land earmarked for vocational training and gari processing for those who are unemployed and would want to make ends meet.

Against that backdrop, she expressed appreciation to gospel musician Empress Gifty for supporting her with her Noko Fine Washing Powder and Verna Mineral Water.

According to her, it went a long way to put smiles on the faces of the widows.

Akumaa Mama Zimbi further said that if she looks back on how the journey started 18 years ago, she feels fulfilled in impacting thousands of lives.

According to her, this motivates her to do even more to put smiles on the faces of people.

The Mama Zimbi Foundation is an NGO committed to motivating, empowering and supporting widows and their children, as well as educating adolescents on their sexual and reproductive health.
