The Ntiamoah Foundation, established in 2006 by Robert Kwaku Appiah Asante, has launched its 20th-anniversary campaign, "BEYOND 20: From Impact to Legacy." The year-long campaign aims to reflect on the Foundation's impact and set the direction for its next chapter. Over the past two decades, the Ntiamoah Foundation has invested over GH¢23 million in improving access to education, healthcare, and community support in the Birim North and Birim South Districts of the Eastern Region.
The Foundation's interventions have spanned early childhood literacy, Reading Clubs and libraries, ICT education, scholarships, menstrual and maternal health, support for health facilities, and community outreach. Notably, the Foundation has supported 34 schools and nearly 6,500 young readers, strengthened 14 Community-based health planning and services (CHPS) facilities, supported 436 life-changing surgeries, and reached over 8,000 girls through menstrual health programmes.
Executive Director Mercy Quansah-Ansah stated that the milestone provides an opportunity to reflect on the Foundation's impact and set the direction for its next chapter. She emphasized that "BEYOND 20" is about creating opportunities today that can continue to transform lives for generations to come. The Foundation has unveiled a 20th-anniversary identity and redesigned website to serve as a platform for impact stories, programme updates, and anniversary activities.
As part of the campaign, the Foundation will introduce three flagship initiatives designed to turn twenty years of impact into a legacy. Programme B.E.A.M. will become the Foundation's flagship education model, bringing together literacy, life skills, creativity, digital learning, leadership, and community support to develop confident, ethical, and future-ready young people.
The Foundation will also launch the R.K.A. Asante Scholarship Scheme, a permanent programme established in honour of its founder. The scheme will combine scholarships with mentorship, leadership, and professional development and community service. Additionally, the 20 for 20 Awards will select the first twenty scholars, creating the inaugural cohort of what the Foundation hopes will become a lifelong community of future leaders committed to giving back.
The third flagship initiative is the Legacy Project, a long-term investment in community spaces and infrastructure that will continue serving people beyond the anniversary year. The project will create spaces to preserve local history and heritage, advance learning and leadership, and build skills and opportunities for young people. Board Chair Dr. Kojo Pumpuni Asante emphasized that the next chapter will require an even broader community of partners.
The anniversary year will culminate in a Fundraising Gala Dinner and Thanksgiving Service in December, bringing together partners, donors, community leaders, beneficiaries, and other stakeholders to celebrate twenty years of service and support the Foundation's future programmes. Partners and stakeholders have congratulated the Ntiamoah Foundation on its milestone, expressing their commitment to continuing their partnership.
