Hello world! My name is Zakisha Brown, I’m from Toronto Canada and currently living in Ghana. I’ve been here in and out since 2019 and I even created a family here. During my living experience I’ve noticed the amount of citizens struggling to live a basic life. Mothers suffering during childbirth because of lack of funds in the hospitals, consistent black outs and don’t have enough food or money to provide for their children and newborns. I’ve noticed the monthly income is equivalent to $40-$50 Canadian a month for most jobs! Some people even get paid less. People with Buisness ideas who just need support to provide for themselves. Due to the economic global crisis and prices of everything increasing… most Ghanaian people can’t afford to live a basic life or have proper running water or even a proper living space. I’ve decided to be the change I want to see. To make a difference here and support in anyway I can. The support of community and people all around the world can change many peoples lives for the better. I want to use my privilege of visibility to make a real change and ask everyone around me to please donate to change one individual or family at a time. I will document it all so you see the proof of where the money is going on my Instagram @Zakisha

Enough is enough of the suffering! We can all eat. Each one reach one!

Since our last phase of fundraising we have been able to help raise over $3000 for 3 families which truly has made a huge difference in these families lives. These funds have given them the ability to find a better living conditions for their families, invest in their businesses so they can become more self sustaining, & Put their children in school, one child through high school and the others through Grade 1 &2. With the money raised The families have also been able to buy school supplies, pay off their rent for the year, get medicine, feed their families and provide mental relief.

For this second phase of fundraising we have partnered with Black Moms Connections who will match donations up to $1000 for the new families we will be supporting.

The Black Moms Connection is a global online village and leading national non-profit providing financial support grants and culturally relevant resources to empower and educate the Black woman.

By encouraging mothers to increase the social, emotional, financial, and well-being of the Black family.

We're so excited and honoured to be partnering with them on our second phase of fundraising for families out here in Ghana! Thank you to everyone who has already donated and to those who will be donating for this second phase!
