The Transformation 108 Foundation, a non-governmental organisation, has described its activities around the world as having a significant moral and economic impact on thousands of people.
According to the organisation, many vulnerable people and communities have benefited significantly from the foundation’s philanthropic tangent in all aspects of life.
Hundreds of people from Ghana and beyond have begun flocking to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology to commemorate the university’s fifth anniversary.
Jnana Caksus Das, the Foundation’s Founder and Leader, told JoyNews that it is critical to transform and support people to be high-minded.
“I do remember some time ago, a woman came to me from Canada. She came to my house, she fell down and she was crying while happy, so I was like mum what is happening and she said you have changed my husband, we’ve been married for more than 15 years and last three years I wanted to go out of the relationship, then after some time I saw my husband a changed man, then I asked what caused that changed and the man said he has been following me on the social media and has been trying to practice my teachings,” he noted.
He stated that such testimonies bring him more joy than material things because people are able to improve their knowledge, which eventually transforms them completely for the better.
He stated that much is being done to change people’s attitudes and get them to stop doing certain things, such as corruption, illegal electricity connections, and littering the environment, in order to make Ghana a better place.
“We want people to change, for instance, if you go to the Western world as a Ghanaian, you don’t go and litter on the streets, the same Ghanaians that litter here when they go out there they don’t litter, it is a system, so if we are able to teach people to change from within, then laws will not be difficult to be implemented, so our main focus is we want to change people,” he alluded.
Mr. Das went on to say that as part of the foundation’s 5th-anniversary celebrations, it has provided about ten boreholes to ten different regions in Ghana.
Aside from that, he stated that they have frequently supported prisons and orphanages in the Ashanti Region in order to alleviate their plight.
According to Nathaniel Ntiedu, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Foundation, many unemployed members of the foundation has been given job opportunities to help reduce the country’s unemployment situation.
He stated that plans are in the works to establish a sachet water factory to increase the number of job opportunities for members.
Mr. Ntiedu also stated that financial assistance was provided to some members in order for them to establish their own businesses and become self-sufficient.
He stated that the foundation was able to train many of its members to be honorable and productive.
He urged people to develop the habit of giving to the poor and needy in order to make the world a better place to live.
