The Empowering Better Life Foundation (EBLF) was officially launched in a ceremony that brought together stakeholders, advocates, and distinguished guests in a collective commitment to improving the lives of the underprivileged in Ghana. The event, spearheaded by Lady Alma Pokuaa Adade-Prempeh, highlighted the foundation’s mission to address critical social issues, including mental health awareness, inclusive education, menstrual hygiene, and financial literacy.
In her address, Lady Alma emphasized the urgent need for targeted interventions to support marginalized communities, particularly women and children. She noted that many children in Ghana struggle with undiagnosed mental health conditions, while others face educational setbacks due to learning disabilities. She stressed that EBLF aims to bridge these gaps by advocating for policies and providing direct support to those affected.
A significant highlight of the launch was the foundation’s commitment to supporting mothers of children with special needs. Many of these women face financial and emotional burdens in raising their children, often without adequate community support. EBLF announced plans to create support networks, offer psychological assistance, and provide training opportunities for unemployed youth to serve as caregivers for children with special needs. This initiative is expected to not only empower families but also create employment opportunities.
The issue of period poverty also took center stage at the launch. Lady Alma underscored the reality that many young girls miss school due to a lack of access to sanitary products, which affects their education and future opportunities. As part of its efforts, EBLF will distribute menstrual hygiene products and offer educational programs to ensure that no girl is left behind due to a natural biological process.

Additionally, the foundation highlighted financial literacy as a key pillar of its work. Many young people in Ghana enter adulthood without the necessary knowledge to manage their finances effectively. EBLF announced plans to introduce financial literacy programs aimed at equipping youth with essential skills in saving, budgeting, and investment to secure their futures.
The launch of the EBLF Foundation marks the beginning of a focused effort to empower vulnerable communities and promote sustainable development. Lady Alma reaffirmed her commitment to ensuring that EBLF’s initiatives translate into real impact, calling on individuals, organizations, and policymakers to support the cause. The foundation is expected to roll out its first series of projects in the coming months, working closely with communities to implement sustainable solutions.
