MTN Ghana Foundation is set to crown the winner of its prestigious Heroes of Change Season 7 on Friday, May 30, 2025, at a grand ceremony at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.
Launched in September 2024, the seventh season of the initiative received an overwhelming response, with over 2,000 applications from individuals and organizations across Ghana. The program seeks to identify and honor everyday Ghanaians making extraordinary contributions to their communities through selfless service.
This season featured 13 compelling episodes, each profiling changemakers whose tireless efforts are transforming lives in the areas of health, education, and economic empowerment.
The first episode highlighted Dr. Angela Dwamena, a gender activist and Executive Director of the Ark Foundation Ghana, under the Economic Empowerment category. Her work focuses on supporting women and children who have experienced abuse, providing them with shelter, legal aid, and counseling services.
In the second episode, Judith Kokui Azumah was featured under the Health category. As the founder of the Restored and Renewed Centre—Ghana’s first all-female rehabilitation facility—she is pioneering addiction treatment tailored to women’s needs, offering therapy, counseling, and community support.
