Toku Foundation is around for people who have Magdalene’s story.
“I live in a kiosk and part is broken so people always ask, ‘Ah, so Magdalene how do you manage to be there?’,” Magdalene tells her story.
“When it rains, we have to use rubber and buckets to cover someplace …
… the rain pours on you (in the room) when it’s raining.
Sometimes I feel like giving up. I ask God ‘Why did you create me?’”
Toku Foundation, a non-governmental agency based in Africa has a goal of helping brilliant but disadvantaged children through school.
In a bid to tell more stories and change lives like that of Magdalene, Toku Foundation held a charity event on Saturday, June 29, 2019 to create awareness and raise funds for their upcoming projects: playground for a kindergarten, toilet facilities, computer laboratory and sponsoring 25 brilliant but disadvantaged children especially girls through school.
The event that took place at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel, Accra saw a host of people come together for a common goal spearheaded by Toku Foundation.
On the event lineup was a spoken word directed by Hashmuller and performed by some students and Menaye, a children fashion show before some accomplished female influencers from the corporate and business world also took to the runway all for one aim, making the lives of children better.
