The project she has embarked has helped communities get access to potable water, and improved deprived conditions in some villages in the country.

She has donated relief items including food and clothing to 488 alleged witches and wizards at Tendan witches camp, a family suffering from a strange disease at Kawu in Upper West, relief items to flood victims, and continues to supoort many people.

Challenges

According to her, some of the villages are hard to reach, as a result, they have to walk miles to reach various communities.

She has listed lack of fiancial support, language barriers, mode of transportation, potable water and network among others as factors impeding her work.

Recounting one difficult moment, she said that they were in the middle of their journey and unfortunately run out of water, and had to drink from a stream which was not wholesome.

“When you get the report to those in authority, most of the times nothing is done about it and it’s frustrating,” she said.

Regardless of these challenges, Tina Muulikaa says, the love for humanity, and looking back at Ahafo Hwidiem where she was born and raised, motivates her to do more.

Future

Though there had been times she wanted to give up as a result of frustation, she is looking at how to increase the base of her team and bring more people to light.

She has called on corporate Ghana to come on board to help Tina Report achieve its aim.

Tina Muulikaa encouraged people to get onto her channel, watch the stories and support some of the deprived communites and urged those who were well to do to organise themselves and go back to their villages to help eradicate the hardship others are facing.
